Rangelands are considered as geographical spaces that are dominated predominantly by grasses, grass-like plants, forbs or shrubs or trees that are grazed or browsed, and which are used as a natural ecosystem for the production of livestock and wildlife. Rangelands are primarily defined by vegetation, land cover and use. This is, in turn, determined by the climate; ecological biomes, and the use of the landscape by people, livestock and wildlife. The vegetation, which reflects the condition of the environment, is represented as continuum of fractions of herbaceous, shrubs, and trees (satellite PROBA-V). Besides of these spatial reference layers several other datasets are relevant with a certain weight for the rangeland mapping approach, like settlement, parks, bare land, infrastructure, climate, terrain, livestock density and length of growing period. As main source of information the new Moderate Dynamic Land Cover Database was used (released by the Copernicus Global Land Operation CGLOPS-1 in late fall 2017). |
