Following an agreement made with the Centre for Ecology & Hydrology (CEH), EDINA offers a subscription service which delivers valuable Land Cover Maps for use by Higher and Further Education institutions. This service is called Environment Digimap and is one of the Digimap Collections.
These digital raster datasets, derived from satellite data collected by the Landsat 5 Thematic Mapper, provide classification of land cover types at a 25m resolution for the years of 1990, 2000 and 2007. Classifications include sea and inland waters, bare, suburban and urban areas, arable farmland, pastures and meadows, rough grass, grass heaths and moors, bracken, dwarf shrub heaths and moorland, scrub, deciduous and evergreen woodland and upland and lowland bogs.
Details of the individual datasets as supplied by CEH can be found in the following:
