Summary

This is a 10-metre pixel data set representing the land surface, classified into 21 UKCEH land cover classes, based upon Biodiversity Action Plan broad habitats. The pixel product is given as a two-band raster in geoTiff format. The first band gives the most likely land cover type; the second band gives the probability associated with this land cover. The probability layer is an indicator of uncertainty (0 to 100). Low values correspond to low certainty (higher uncertainty). This is the first 10m resolution land cover map produced by UKCEH. It succeeds 20m resolution classified pixel products from 2017, 2018 and 2019. A full description of this and all UKCEH LCM2020 products are available from the product documentation accompanying this data.
