Non-Sealed Artificial Surfaces
type: Concept
notation: LCC-non-sealed-artificial-surfaces
definition: Any artificial areas which are not sealed with built-up or non-built-up constructions. Non-sealed is here seen as permeable to water. However, non-sealed in this sense can still mean that vegetation is hindered to grow.

Lichens
type: Concept
notation: LCC-lichens
definition: Algae are a very large group of different eukaryotic plant organisms that usually live in a habitat under or close to the water surface. There are also some algae that live on solid ground like rocks or tree stems in sufficiently humid micro climate conditions. From a biological perspective it is difficult to group them systematically, which is out of scope here. They can have all kinds of different plant sizes and growth forms. For this data model it seems reasonable to distinguish between macro algae like seaweeds and kelp that have similar twig-like shape to terrestrial plants, and micro algae.

It is more a geographical term than a LCC, and moreover rather difficult to delineate. Also, how to categorize an estuary as coastal water / transitional water / marine water depends somehow on the users perspective. However, the EAGLE group suggests to describe an estuary with LCC water course in combination with water characteristics (salinity, tidal influence). Basically, the water course is the primary source and reason for the existence of an estuary. Therefore it is considered reasonable to use LCC water course.

definition: Hydrocarbon compounds are artificial materials that are based on crude oil. They are the residues of refined mineral oil after extraction the more volatile substances. Sometimes mixed with mineral fragments (sand, gravel) they are used to on artificial surfaces like roads or roofs to seal and/or harden them, to make them impermeable. Practically, such surfaces can also have a natural origin, where mineral oil emerges by nature on the surface, combines with sands, and hardens out to some kind of natural asphalt, but those spots are very rare.

Sclerophyllous
type: Concept
notation: LCH-sclerophyllous
definition: Sclerophyllous leaves are adapted to long periods of dryness and heat. The plants feature hard leaves, short internodes (the distance between leaves along the stem) and leaf orientation which is parallel or oblique to direct sunlight. The leaves are characterized by their relatively small, stiff and have a leathery or waxy coating, to reduce loss of moisture due to transpiration, in adaptation to dry and hot weather periods throughout the year.Sclerophyllous is not seen as a sort of leaf form and is not contrary to broad-leaved or needle-leaved. In fact, a plant can be sclerophyllous and broad- or needle (narrow) leaved at the same time. That is why it is handled here as stand-alone matrix element. Examples are cork oaks or olive trees.

Epiphyte Plant
type: Concept
notation: LCH-epiphyte-plant
definition: Epiphyte plant is an organism that grows on the surface of a plant and derives its moisture and nutrients from the air, rain, water (in marine environments) or from debris accumulating around it. Epiphytes take part in nutrient cycles and add to both the diversity and biomass of the ecosystem in which they occur, like any other organism. They are an important source of food for many species. Typically, the older parts of a plant will have more epiphytes growing on them. Epiphytes differ from parasites in that they grow on other plants for physical support and do not necessarily affect the host negatively.

Soil Moisture Regime, Wetness
type: Concept
notation: LCH-moisture-regime
definition: The following wetness characters are categorized referring to the Environmental Qualifiers of the General Habitat Categories (GHC), as laid out in the “Manual for Habitat and Vegetation Surveillance and Monitoring”. The soil moisture is dependent on external and internal factors like precipitation, evaporation, capillary rise and infiltration. Further, to measure soil moisture, two complementary parameters are of importance: the volumetric water content (VWC) and the soil water tension (SWT). VWC expresses the share in % of water volume in a given soil volume, and SWT measured the force necessary for plant roots to extract water from the soil.

Extensive Cultivation Practice
type: Concept
notation: LCH-extensive-cultivation-practice
definition: Extensive orchards are an extensive form of using fruit / nut tree, partly also berry shrubs, for fruit / nut production, or also olive trees. This kind of cultivation practice is of value for habitats of insects, birds and small mammals. German expression for this kind of cultivation pattern is “Streuobstwiese” (with grass underneath) or “Streuobstacker” (with ploughed topsoil).

Agroforestry
type: Concept
notation: LCH-agroforestry
definition: As the name already indicates, this type of land use is a combination of agricultural land use with forestry-like use. The ground between openly standing or scattered trees is grazed by cattle or life stock, or arable crops are planted between the trees. . In German speaking countries this landscape type is called “Hain”, “Hudewald” or “Waldweide”. In the Mediterranean countries it is called Dehesa or Montado and still can be found more often.

Shifting Cultivation
type: Concept
notation: LCH-shifting-cultivation
definition: Shifting cultivation (slash & burn) is a type of crop rotation in combination with a fallow land phase which is applied mainly by subsistent farmers in tropical regions. Rain forest is cut down to gain space for growing crops. The biomass that has been cut down is burnt, the ashes serve as nutrition for the crops. The cultivation period is limited to a few years due to the limited soil fertility. After a crop cultivation period the soil is left fallow so a secondary vegetation succession can take place. After a certain time, this land undergoes again the cycle of slash and burn practice.

Intercropping
type: Concept
notation: LCH-intercropping
definition: Intercropping is a multiple cropping practice that involves growing two or more crops in proximity at the same time and in the same space. The most common goal of intercropping is to be more space-efficient with the resource of cultivated land. The space in between plants of one crop type, that is not needed, can be occupied by another crop type. Like this, the production results in overall higher yields compared to for example growing crops one after the other in a crop rotating manner.. Further, intercropping can reduce the risk of soil erosion or of plant pests, and can balance the content enhancement and exploitation of soil nutrients through the combined crop species. Examples of intercropping strategies are planting a deep-rooted crop with a shallow-rooted crop, or planting a tall crop (nut trees) with a shorter crop that requires partial shade (arable crop).

definition: Pruning is a kind of horticultural and silvicultural measure for plant growth control which is used to control the growth of plants. It involves the selective removal of parts of a plant by cutting the branches, twigs, buds, or roots. Reasons to prune plants include deadwood removal, shaping (by controlling or directing growth), improving or maintaining health, reducing risk from falling branches, preparing nursery specimens for transplanting, and both harvesting and increasing the yield or quality of flowers and fruits. It is often used in combination with sustaining installation on permanent woody crops and aims at keeping the branches low for easier fruit harvest and also to stimulate the plant´s crop or biomass production.

Crop Type
type: Concept
notation: LCH-crop-type
definition: The crop types can be ordered in different ways. The here applied manner aims to focus on the form of the crop, or which part of the plant is harvested. This crop type list follows a compromise between botanical aspects and commonly used aspects to group crops by their apparent form. The latter aspect does not always go conform with botanical hierarchy. For example almonds or coconuts botanically belong to stone fruit, but are grouped here with “nuts”, because they are called so and not the flesh of fruit but the core is the targeted part of the fruit. Olives are also stone fruits, grapes are a sort of berries but both of them receive a stand-alone position because of their outstanding importance in European crop production. Further, this crop type list tries to avoid naming crops after the aspect of their cultivation purpose but instead categorizes them according to the part of the plant that is the harvest target. Cultivation purpose was given its own matrix segment.

Forest Land Management
type: Concept
notation: LCH-forest-land-management
definition: Forest Land includes all land with woody vegetation consistent with thresholds used to define Forest land in the national greenhouse gas inventory. It also includes systems with a vegetation structure that currently fall below, but in situ could potentially reach the threshold values used by a country to define the Forest Land category. (Source: 2006 IPCC Guidelines) According to FAO 2015 Forest land must span more than 0.5 hectares with trees higher than 5 meters and a canopy cover of more than 10 percent, or trees able to reach these thresholds in situ. This segment addresses different characters that further describe the form specific techniques of forestry management. By combining the following characteristics listed under this segment different types of forest constellations can be described. To separate between native forests (forests that do not contain any non-native trees) and non-native forest (forests containing both native and non-native tree species) use the code list 3.9 Plant Species Origin.

Coppice, Low Forest
type: Concept
notation: LCH-coppice-low-forest
definition: A coppice forest (de: Niederwald) is a traditionally managed woodland, normally with broadleaved trees. This form involves cutting back the trees every 15 to 25 years. The method exploits the capacity of many species of trees to put out new shoots from their stump or roots if cut down. In a coppiced wood, which is called a copse, young tree stems are repeatedly cut down to near ground level, resulting in a stool. New growth emerges, and after a number of years, the coppiced tree is harvested, and the cycle begins anew.

High Forest
type: Concept
notation: LCH-high-forest
definition: High forest (de: Hochwald) is a type of woodland where tree growth originated from self-seeded or planted seedlings and developed in an erect form of the stem. In contrast to a low forest (coppice forest, see above), a high forest in a grown-up stage usually consists of tall, mature trees with a closed canopy. High forests can occur naturally or they can be the result of a plantation and maintenance process. Under human forest management, two form of high forest exist, the parcel-based high forest, or the Plenter forest (see also silvicultural harvesting and regeneration methods)

Forest Cleaning, Weeding
type: Concept
notation: LCH-forest-cleaning-weeding
definition: Cleaning and weeding take place in a very early growth stage in the first years of seedlings developing to young forest stands. The parcel is cleared of unfavorable and concurrent consumer vegetation (herbaceous vegetation, other tree exemplars) that grow in direct surrounding of favorable forest plants, regarding their unwanted consumption of light, water, nutrients or growing space. This procedure can be done in a mechanical or chemical manner.

After a clear cut – if forestry use is continued on the land unit - , a new plantation cycles starts with replanting seedlings or leave the unit to natural succession. Other than forestry continuation, also orther land use type can take over after a final clear cut. Then it is not anymore under forestry management. This harvesting method can be seen connected with all forestry rotation systems.

Shelterwood Cutting
type: Concept
notation: LCH-shelterwood-cutting
definition: Shelterwood (de: Schirmschlag)cutting is applied to a mature forest stand. It refers to the progression of forest cuttings by felling more and more single trees, step by step in an evenly distributed manner throughout the woodland parcel. The process stretches over several years, and each time after a felling event, more open space and light becomes available for the rejuvenation on the ground, which takes place in the shadow of the left over still standing shelter trees. Like that, it leads to the establishment of a new generation of seedlings of a particular species or group of species through natural succession without planting. The result of this harvest and regeneration method is a new even-aged forest stand (with only few years difference in age). This harvesting method is connected with long rotation forestry.

Femel Cutting
type: Concept
notation: LCH-femel-cutting
definition: In the process of Femel cut (Femelschlag), which is similar to the shelterwood cut (Schirmschlag), the mature trees are also felled over a period of a few years. The difference is in the island-like or grouped distribution of harvested trees. I that manner, a mix of shadow-affine and sunlight affine tree species can regenerate in a balanced manner on the parcel. Through the subsequent phases of cutting, the initial spots of clear areas grow bigger in a concentric way, and all of these spots are distributed in a mosaic pattern on the woodland parcel. This harvesting method is connected with long rotation forestry.

Strip Cutting
type: Concept
notation: LCH-strip-cutting
definition: Also the strip cutting method (de: Saumschlag) is applied to fell the trees in mature forest stands not all at once, but stepwise, stretched over several years. The progression of the felling starts at the outer edge of a woodland parcel, and moves year by years towards the opposite side of the parcel. In doing so, the light and micro-weather conditions change slowly, as more trees are taken out, and also different species can succeed, having different ecological requirements. The cutting is executed in such a way, that the still standing trees protect the cleared area with the succeeding seedlings from the main wind direction. This harvesting method is connected with long rotation forestry.

Selection Cutting
type: Concept
notation: LCH-selection-cutting
definition: With the selection logging method (de: Plenterwald), not all trees of a parcel are felled at once, but only a number of selected trees that are chosen to be already in the right mature condition for harvesting. Some other trees are left standing either because they have not yet any value for logging or for further growth. This harvesting method is connected with long rotation forestry. Decisions on the felling or keeping of trees are made not only based on their maturity and timber value but also based on the characteristics and ecological processes inherent to the stand site (nature-oriented forestry). The selection cutting is system is seen to be a very sustainable form of forestry, where felling of trees, rejuvenation and regrowth throughout different age classes and mixed species is in an equilibrium, which ensures a continuous forest cover. However, if selection logging is applied continuously intensive beyond any sustainable rationale, selection logging leads to forest degradation, where natural succession can´t keep up due to ecological conditions.

Coppicing
type: Concept
notation: LCH-coppicing
definition: Coppicing (de: Niederwald) is a woodland management measure of repeated cutting down of tree stems near the ground, generating regrowth of new shoots from the coppiced tree (stool). New shots are harvested in 3-50 year cycles, cycle length being dependent on species (e.g. willow, birch, hazel, poplar, hornbeam, beech, ash, alder, oak) and use of harvested wood (e.g. brushwood, charcoal, poles, withies for wicker-work, firewood, timber). This harvesting method is connected to short rotation forestry systems.

Pollarding
type: Concept
notation: LCH-pollarding
definition: Pollarding is similar to coppicing, with the difference that the tree is not cut near ground level, but a few meters above ground. The effect of pollarding causes the tree to re-sprout at the head level new thin shoots. The purpose behind this method is to make the tree produce biomass with a lot of leafs which can be used as fodder or stray. Nowadays, it is also applied for esthetic reasons, e.g. along alleys or in urban green areas. With pollarding, the plant can be held in a more or less juvenile state, whereas the trunk can have a high age.

Terraced Terrain
type: Concept
notation: LCH-terraced-terrain
definition: This linear character describes the modification of land surface to equal out a slope with regularly arranged platforms in a stepwise manner. It requires earthworks to make the terraces. Terraces are mainly arranged for agricultural purposes (but not exclusively) in areas where the original relief energy is too high for agricultural activities like sowing, mowing, ploughing, harvesting or flooding irrigation. Typically, the terraces´ edges follow the isohypes of equal height of the slope.

Artificial Snow Preparation
type: Concept
notation: LCH-artificial-snow-preparation
definition: This character indicates if a piece of land, in particular a ski piste, is prepared with artificial snow, which is made with snow cannons along the ski piste. It is done to meliorate the skiing conditions over the season and also to prolong the duration of skiing season. For this kind of snow-making, often water reservoirs are necessary that can be found nearby the skiing area as small ponds in the slope.

Often it is a reserve of natural, semi-natural, or developed land that a sovereign state declares or owns. The applied rules that count inside a national park, and how it is administered may differ from country to country. Throughout all national parks the common idea is the conservation of 'wild nature' for posterity and as a symbol of national pride.

Subsidence and Collapse
type: Concept
notation: LCH-subsidence-and-collapse
definition: Subsidence and collapse involve mainly vertical downwards ground movement of the surface of the Earth due to different processes of rock or soil weathering or rock compaction to a point where the rock structure cannot bear its own load (collapse) or causing relatively slow downwards movements (subsidence). Subsidence and collapse can be associated with carbonate rocks in karstic areas, but it can occur in other regions such as loessic soils or compressible soils.

Drought
type: Concept
notation: LCH-drought
definition: Sustained and extensive occurrence of below-average water availability, caused by climate variability. Drought should not be confused with aridity, which is a long-term average feature of a dry climate. Likewise, drought should not be confused with water scarcity, which reflects conditions of long-term imbalances between water availability and demands. Droughts can affect both high and low rainfall areas and can develop over short periods of weeks and months or much longer periods of several seasons, years and even decades.

Height Zone
type: Concept
notation: LCH-height-zone
definition: Height zones or altitudinal zoning in general is applied to give structure to the phenomenon that nature changes with increasing altitude in mountainous regions due to varying environmental and climate conditions. Factors like air temperature, air humidity, soil/rock composition, solar radiation, geographical aspect/exposure (azimuth) are important factors in determining altitudinal zones. Altitudinal zones therefore do not simply relate to absolute elevation or measurable height above sea level. On the same height about sea level, two different altitudinal zones can occur in the southern and northern exposure side of a mountain range.

definition: As part of coastal areas as well as connected to inland water bodies, the sublittoral or also called subtidal zone addresses the area where the earths surface is normally constantly covered by water. In coastal areas the sublittoral zone stretches from the low tide line across the shallow sea towards the continental shelf. It is inhabited by algae, corals etc. where photosynthesis is still possible under water. In inland water bodies, the sublittoral or infralittoral zone embraces the area of a lake, where taller terrestrial plants can still build roots. This zone often is also the breading zone for water animals.

Mosaic Pattern
type: Concept
notation: LCH-mosaic-pattern
definition: The spatial pattern “mosaic” describes the distribution of features in space in relation and together with other surrounding features, which are homogeneous within themselves but clearly distinct from each other. A land unit with a mosaic pattern contains several sub- units/components that can be identified as stand-alone sub-parts of the larger “mosaic” unit holding them together. It is applied for land surface units on a higher abstracted level. The single parts inside the mosaic may have their own spatial pattern (e.g. homogeneous or heterogeneous) to be distinguishable. Altogether, the sub-units inside the characterized “mosaic” unit form a patchwork pattern, where each patch is clearly distinct. Example: a forest area with appearing grassland clearings in between.
