This map service provides dynamic access to data from the Corine Land Cover 2006 inventory. Data are available as 100 meter pixel raster images at small scales up to 1:800.000 and at higher scales as vectors. CORINE Land Cover (CLC) is a geographic land cover/land use database encompassing most of the countries of Europe. In 1985 the Corine programme was initiated in the European Union. Corine means 'coordination of information on the environment' and it was a prototype project working on many different environmental issues. The Corine databases and several of its programme have been taken over by the EEA. One of these is an inventory of land cover in 44 classes organised hierarchically in three levels, and presented as a cartographic product, at a scale of 1:100 000. The first level (5 classes) corresponds to the main categories of the land cover/land use (artificial areas, agricultural land, forests and semi-natural areas, wetlands, water surfaces). The second level (15 classes) covers physical and physiognomic entities at a higher level of detail (urban zones, forests, lakes, etc), finally level 3 is composed of 44 classes. CLC was elaborated based on the visual interpretation of satellite images (SPOT, LANDSAT TM and MSS). Ancillary data (aerial photographs, topographic or vegetation maps, statistics, local knowledge) were used to refine interpretation and the assignment of the territory into the categories of the CORINE Land Cover nomenclature. The smallest surfaces mapped (minimum mapping units) correspond to 25 hectares. Linear features less than 100 m in width are not considered. The scale of the output product was fixed at 1:100.000. Thus, the location precision of the CLC database is 100 m. This database is operationally available for most areas of Europe. Original inventories, based on and interpreted from satellite imagery as well as ancillary information sources, are stored within national institutions. One of the major tasks undertaken in the framework of the Corine programme has been the establishment of a computerised inventory on the land cover. Data on land cover is necessary for the environment policy as well as for other policies such as regional development and agriculture. At the same time it provides one of the basic inputs for the production of more complex information on other themes (soil erosion, pollutant emission into the air by the vegetation, etc.). The objectives of the land cover project are: - to provide those responsible for and interested in the European policy on the environment with quantitative data on land cover, consistent and comparable across Europe.

O CORINE Land Cover 2012 para Portugal Continental (v2.0) é uma iniciativa da Agência Europeia do Ambiente (EEA), em conjunto com os Estados-Membros, que pretende caraterizar a ocupação/uso do solo no território de Portugal continental no ano de 2012. É uma cartografia temática produzida a partir de imagens de satélite, disponível em formato vetorial, com uma Unidade Mínima Cartográfica (UMC) de 25 hectares e com um sistema de classificação com 3 níveis hierárquicos e 44 classes no nível mais desagregado. Os guias de apoio à utilização de serviços WMS e WFS/ATOM podem ser acedidos na área de dados abertos do Portal da DGT.

Vector shapefiles of the rural-urban interface (RUI) in Portugal estimated for different periods (1990, 2000, 2006, 2012). RUI was mapped considering the first and the second level hierarchy of CORINE Land Cover (CLC). A specific geospatial approach was designed to extract the area of intersection between a buffer around the artificial surfaces and the area resulting from the sum of the forest and semi natural areas plus the heterogeneous agricultural areas. We adopted a buffer width of 1 km, corresponding to two times the spatial resolution of CLC inventories.

The field “code_yy” refers to CLC class level 3. More about the Corine Land Cover (CLC) programme and datasets can be found at http://www.eea.eu

Climate and land cover variables chosen for model analysis.

Os coeficientes de escoamentoutilizados no método nacional, foram avaliados de acordo com Chow et al (1988), em função do declive médio, da ocupação da bacia hidrográfica e do período de retorno. A informação ponderada de ocupação do uso do solo para Portugal Continental, CORINE Land Cover (2006), produzida no âmbito da Agência Europeia do Ambiente, apresenta uma resolução de 100 m (série cartográfica 1:100 000, com uma unidade mínima de 25 ha).
