DESCRIPTION

r.euro.ecosystem defines colors and raster category labels for Ecosystem types of Europe.

The data can be downloaded at EEA for level 1 (based on EUNIS habitat classification level 1) and level 2 (based on EUNIS habitat classification level 2).

The dataset combines the Corine based MAES ecosystem classes with the non-spatial EUNIS habitat classification for a better biological characterization of ecosystems across Europe. As such it represents probabilities of EUNIS habitat presence for each MAES ecosystem type.

Data definition rules have to be defined by flags -1 or -2.

Raster data definition rules are donated by EEA.

EXAMPLE

  # link to ecosystem raster data level 1
  r.external input="es_l1_100m.tif" output=es_l1_100m
  # define colors and raster category labels
  r.euro.ecosystem -1 input=es_l1_100m

  # link to ecosystem raster data level 2
  r.external input="es_l2_100m.tif" output=es_l2_100m
  # define colors and raster category labels
  r.euro.ecosystem -2 input=es_l2_100m
