Great Britain National Land Characteristics Database
Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR
In the early 1980s a total of 126 land and land use attributes were quantitatively recorded from map and statistic sources for the 2858 10 x 10 km grid squares (cells) of the Ordnance Survey National Grid which contained land in Great Britain.
Description
The attributes are grouped into categories: Physiography (eg. relative relief, altitude range); Climate (eg. seasonal rainfall, temperature and wind speed); Geology (eg. extent of stratigraphic units); Soils (eg. extent dominated by 8 major soil groups); Topography (eg. population, settlement frequency); Land Use (eg. extent of farmland, woodland and urban land); Agricultural Land Classification; Conservation Status (eg. presence of National Parks).
The attributes provide the basis for a land data set appropriate to national and regional scales of ecological assessment and resource evaluation.
