Landcover of Uruguay - AFRICOVER
This original full resolution land cover has been produced from visual interpretation of digitally enhanced LANDSAT 5TM images (30 m resolution), acquired mainly in the period 2007-2008.
The land cover classes have been developed using the FAO/UNEP international standard LCCS classification system. This database can be analyzed in the GLCN software Advanced Database Gateway (ADG), which provides a user-friendly interface and advanced functionalities to breakdown the LCCS classes in their classifiers for further aggregations and analysis.
