Riparian Zones
Riparian zones represent transitional areas occurring between land and freshwater ecosystems, characterised by distinctive hydrology, soil and biotic conditions and strongly influenced by the stream water. They provide a wide range of riparian functions (e.g. chemical filtration, flood control, bank stabilization, aquatic life and riparian wildlife support, etc.) and ecosystem services.
The Riparian Zones products will support the objectives of several European legal acts and policy initiatives, such as the EU Biodiversity Strategy to 2020, the Habitats and Birds Directives and the Water Framework Directive.
Two complementary product groups provide detailed information on the state and characteristics of riparian zones across Belgium:
1. Land Cover / Land Use (LCLU)
2. Green Linear Elements (GLE)

Semi-automatic classification of 1.5m VHR2 SPOT-6 and 2.5m VHR2 SPOT-5 HRG satellite data from the DWH_MG2b_CORE_03 dataset (Optical VHR2 coverage over EU 2011-2013 and Riparian zones) and computer assisted visual refinement. Subsequently intersection of classification results with additional data (CLC 2006/2012, GIO HRL Tree Cover Density, Urban Atlas 2006/2012).
