Corine Land Cover — Soil Occupation in France
Corine Land Cover (CLC) is a biophysical land-cover inventory produced under the European Copernicus Earth observation programme, covering 39 European countries. The French dataset is derived from visual interpretation of satellite imagery and provides reference land-cover data for 1990, 2000, 2006 and 2012, along with change layers documenting land-use transitions between 1990-2000, 2000-2006 and 2006-2012. Coverage includes metropolitan France and its overseas departments, though for French Guiana only the coastal strip has been mapped. The dataset supports analysis of land occupation patterns and long-term changes in land use across French territory.The CORINE Land Cover Geographical Database (CLC) is a **biophysical land tenure inventory**. It is produced as part of the European Earth Observation Programme **Copernicus** (39 European States). Reference data, CORINE Land Cover is derived from the visual interpretation of satellite images and is available for the following years: 1990, 2000, 2006 and 2012. These state bases are accompanied by the basis for changes 1990-2000, 2000-2006 and 2006-2012 (data on the areas of land use that have changed). The metropolis and the DOM are covered by CLC. For Guyana, only the coastal strip has been treated.
