Land Use Land Cover (LULC) raster datasets for the Claduègne catchment: historical maps (1950-2020) and future scenarios (S1_abandonment, S2_local, S3_productivity)

Temporal coverage: Historical maps: 1950, 1970, 2000, 2020 Future scenarios: 2050

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).
