Valid Data Dictionary Vocabularies Eionet Data Dictionary EAGLE Nomenclature Intercropping 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).

Valid Data Dictionary Vocabularies Eionet Data Dictionary EAGLE Nomenclature Clearcutting With the clear-cut method, all trees of a parcel are felled at once, no other trees are left standing for further growth. A clear cut is therefore the last step in the process of timber production. 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.

Valid Data Dictionary Vocabularies Eionet Data Dictionary EAGLE Nomenclature Shelterwood Cutting 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. Valid Data Dictionary Vocabularies Eionet Data Dictionary EAGLE Nomenclature Period Start Date Value To This LCH expresses the upper range value for the start date of an element-related period. If the exact period start is unclear, values from .. to (see elements below) can be used as a range. If no range is needed, use the same figures for the elements “from..” and “to..”. Valid Data Dictionary Vocabularies Eionet Data Dictionary EAGLE Nomenclature Artificial Surface Material Type This category contains a list of man-made surface material, which are common in urban and settlement fabric. It is basically meant to address soil sealing materials and roof materials. As some material both can occur on the ground and on roofs, the code list shall be used for both possible locations. In terms of data model relations, these characters are supposed to be used either in connection with LCCs of Sealed or Non-Sealed Artificial Surfaces. The list contains categories and sub types, which both can be used as a value to characterize an LCC, depending on available information details about the material itself. Valid Data Dictionary Vocabularies Eionet Data Dictionary EAGLE Nomenclature Functional Crop This sub-class applies for crop production with functional purposes other than for consumption (food, fodder, industrial, energy). Crops produced for e.g. alimentation and where the residues are used for energy production. These sub-types of functional crop purposes can be combined with each other, or also with other cultivation purposes. Valid Data Dictionary Vocabularies Eionet Data Dictionary EAGLE Nomenclature Femel Cutting 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. Valid Data Dictionary Vocabularies Eionet Data Dictionary EAGLE Nomenclature Period End Date This LCH stores the end date of a certain period in form of the number of a day, counted from 1st January onwards into the year.

Valid Data Dictionary Vocabularies Eionet Data Dictionary EAGLE Nomenclature Strip Cutting 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. Valid Data Dictionary Vocabularies Eionet Data Dictionary EAGLE Nomenclature Period End Date Value From This LCH expresses the lower range value for the end date of an element-related period. If the exact period start is unclear, values from .. to (see elements below) can be used as a range. If no range is needed, use the same figures for the elements “from..” and “to..”.

Valid Data Dictionary Vocabularies Eionet Data Dictionary EAGLE Nomenclature Selection Cutting 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. Valid Data Dictionary Vocabularies Eionet Data Dictionary EAGLE Nomenclature Period End Date Value To This LCH expresses the upper range value for the end date of an element-related period.

Valid Data Dictionary Vocabularies Eionet Data Dictionary EAGLE Nomenclature Coppicing 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. Valid Data Dictionary Vocabularies Eionet Data Dictionary EAGLE Nomenclature Recurring Frequency Seasonal frequency to store the number of changes per year, how often a situation is altering, recurring, or repeatedly happening.

Valid Data Dictionary Vocabularies Eionet Data Dictionary EAGLE Nomenclature Pollarding 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.

Valid Data Dictionary Vocabularies Eionet Data Dictionary EAGLE Nomenclature Non-Asbestos Fibre Cement Valid Data Dictionary Vocabularies Eionet Data Dictionary EAGLE Nomenclature Crop Type 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.

Valid Data Dictionary Vocabularies Eionet Data Dictionary EAGLE Nomenclature Herbaceous Vegetation Annual, biennial or perennial plants that do not have a persistent woody stem above the ground (in botanical term: herb). In contrary to woody plants, which have stems above ground that remain alive during the dormant season and grow shoots the next year from the above-ground parts, shoots of herbaceous plant die down at the end of growing season, so they regenerate themselves from tissues left above or under the ground (e.g. bulbs, rhizomes, tubers, seeds).

Valid Data Dictionary Vocabularies Eionet Data Dictionary EAGLE Nomenclature Graminoids, Grass-Like Grasses, or more technically graminoids, are monocotyledonous, usually herbaceous plants with narrow leaves growing from the base. They include the true grasses, of the Poaceae (or Gramineae) family, as well as the sedges (Cyperaceae) and the rushes (Juncaceae). The true grasses include cereals, bamboo and the grasses of lawns (turf) and grassland. Sedges include many wild marsh and grassland plants, and some cultivated ones. Belonging here regardless of being wild-growing - forming natural grasslands or being component of other biomes (e.g. wetlands, forest, tundra) or cultivated – forming cropland (arable, meadow, pasture) or grass surfaces / lawn for sports / recreation.
