Land Use Land Cover (LULC) raster datasets for the Claduègne catchment, including historical maps (1950–2020) and spatially explicit future scenarios for 2050.
These datasets consist of categorical raster maps (5 m resolution, GeoTIFF format, Lambert 93 projection) representing land use and land cover dynamics in a Mediterranean catchment. Historical maps were derived from remote sensing image processing, while future scenarios were simulated using land-use change modelling approaches.
Temporal coverage:
Historical maps: 1950, 1970, 2000, 2020
Future scenarios: 2050
Future scenarios:
S1_abandonment: land abandonment with reduced pressure on water resources
S2_local: locally integrated land and water management
S3_productivity: agricultural intensification with increased pressure on water resources
LULC classification scheme:
1 – Urban: built-up areas and bare soil
3 – Cereals: annual crops
4 – Grassland: permanent and temporary
5 – Vineyard: viticulture areas
6 – Shrubs: transitional woodland
7 – Forest: broadleaf and coniferous
8 – Water: water bodies
9 – Orchard: orchards
All raster maps share a consistent classification scheme, ensuring comparability across time periods and scenarios. These data can be used to analyse landscape trajectories, assess land-use change impacts, and support environmental modelling (e.g. water quality or resource management studies).
