  • LCDB v4.1 (Deprecated) - Land Cover Database version 4.1, Chatham Islands

    Manaaki Whenua – Landcare Research
    The New Zealand Land Cover Database (LCDB) is a multi-temporal, thematic classification of New Zealand's land cover. It contains 33 mainland classes (35 including the offshore Chatham Islands). The classification has evolved from version to version but backward compatibility has been maintained. Geographic features are described by a polygon boundary, a...
