GENERAL INFO |
Dataset Name:Agricultural_Landuse2000_EU12 |
Long name: Homogeneous Spatial Mapping Units for EU12 countries (New Member States) with CAPRI land use allocation |
Description: Agricultural land use maps for EU12 Member States at the level of HSMUs and for the year 2000. 29 agricultrual land uses are distinguished: Barley, Citrus fruits, Durum Wheat, Floriculture, Permanent gras and grazing, Fallow land, Fruit tree and berry plantations, Maize, Olive groves, Rape and turnip rape |

METHOD |
Type of method: Model simulation |
Methodology: Disaggregation of CAPRI land use statistics on the basis of environmental characteristics, Corine Land Cover classes, information from the LUCAS survey and FSS2000. Roughly, disaggregation is done in two steps: 1. Locally weighted binomial Logit models to estimate the probability that a crop is grown in an HSMU as a function of environmental parameters; calibration with LUCAS observations. 2. Estimation of consistent crop shares with a Bayesian Highest Posterior Density estimator. See http://www.biogeosciences.net/5/73/2008/bg-5-73-2008.html and http://www.ilr1.uni-bonn.de/agpo/rsrch/dynaspat/tp_dissaggregation_v1.gms.pdf |
Uncertainty: Quality of component data applies |
Quality assessment: not yet, validation of procedure done for EU15 countries |

The
mission of the JRC is to provide customer-driven scientific and
technical support for the conception, development, implementation and
monitoring of EU policies. As a service of the European Commission, the
JRC functions as a reference centre of science and technology for the
Union. Close to the policy-making process, it serves the common
interest of the Member States, while being independent of special
interests, whether private or national.
