OSM Landuse/Landcover was generated using OpenStreetMap (OSM) and remote sensing (Sentinel-2 and Landsat) images. Sixty OSM tag combinations were used to allocate a land use classification based on the Corine Land Cover (CLC) level 2 legend for most of the area, and the remaining gaps were filled with remote sensing data. For more details, see the references below.
