Use limitation

Access to data is based on a principle of full, open and free access as established by the Copernicus data and information policy Regulation (EU) No 1159/2013 of 12 July 2013. This regulation establishes registration and licensing conditions for GMES/Copernicus users and can be found here:

https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=CELEX%3A32013R1159

Free, full and open access to this data set is made on the conditions that:

When distributing or communicating Copernicus dedicated data and Copernicus service information to the public, users shall inform the public of the source of that data and information.

Users shall make sure not to convey the impression to the public that the user's activities are officially endorsed by the Union.

Where that data or information has been adapted or modified, the user shall clearly state this.

The data remain the sole property of the European Union. Any information and data produced in the framework of the action shall be the sole property of the European Union. Any communication and publication by the beneficiary shall acknowledge that the data were produced “with funding by the European Union”.

Statement

The STL is a separate layer from the Urban Atlas 2012 LC/LU layer produced within the Urban Atlas 2012 LC/LU urban mask for each FUA. The production of the Street Tree Layers was performed on the basis of SPOT 5 Supermode data used for the Urban Atlas 2012 production acquired between March and November months with a preference for spring and late summer imagery. An interactive automated classification approach was applied to identify contiguous rows or a patches of trees covering 500 m² or more and with a minimum width of 10 m. A post-processing routine was applied to provide the results in vector format.

In the autumn 2018 the Natural Science Institute of Iceland verified the UA_STL layer for year 2012 with the LACO-Wiki online tool. Information on the verification is to be found in the following report: "UASTL2012_VerificationReport_IS" at the download site of Natural Science Institute of Iceland.

Software used for verification: LACO-WIKI, (GoogleEarth, ArcMap 10.5.1)
