Extended wetland ecosystem layer 2012 (raster 100m) version 1, Nov. 2019

This raster dataset presents the ecosystem wetlands extent in 2012 in Europe. It includes 20 wetland classes which, besides inland and coastal wetlands, includes transitional ecosystems corresponding to wetlands such as riparian forests, wet grasslands, estuaries, or rice fields.

A great diversity of wetlands exists making the definition of a wetland ecosystem both challenging and controversial. The development of an extended wetland ecosystem layer is an explicit policy request in Europe which builds on an ecosystem-based justification of an inclusive definition, delimitation and delineation of wetlands, looking at the “hydro-ecological” boundaries of this ecosystem (including their wetness and flow characteristics).

      Statement

      The dataset “Extended wetland ecosystem” is a derived product of the CLC layer for the year 2012 (v20) which has then been reclassified into 20 wetland classes on the basis of ancillary spatial layers (“Water and Wetness” and “Riparian Zone Layer” Copernicus products, the “Ecosystem types of Europe” v3.1 and “The Global Spatial Water Explorer” datasets).

      The resulting map, besides inland and coastal wetlands, includes transitional ecosystems corresponding to wetlands such as riparian forests, wet grasslands, estuaries, or rice fields. This reclassification integrates wetland habitats classified under other ecosystems which depend at the hydro-ecological level on wetlands for their proper use and management. The detailed reclassification scheme has been published as Annex I, in the MAES Wetland Thematic Assessment chapter ( https://forum.eionet.europa.eu/etc-urban-land-and-soil-systems/library/c1.-action-plan-2019/1.7.5.1-support-maes-activities-incl.-2019-ecosystem-assessment/kd2).

      The dataset has been validated against the regional wetland inventory of Andalusia (Spain); the validation for other regions in Europe is being currently carried out.
