This category includes geospatial data on agricultural land use activities, boundaries and areas of vegetation such as forest, mangrove, wetland, dryland and cropland.

  • Dryland Forest

    G2G
    VB1000

    Forest types consisting of mixed natural vegetation composition found inland from an elevation of 0 meter above sea level

  • Wetland Forest

    G2G
    VB2000

    A forest type characterized by the presence of natural vegetation where soil is at least periodically saturated or covered by water

  • Mangrove Forest

    G2G
    VB2010

    A forest type that is salt tolerant and found on coastal or estuarine areas with muddy low-oxygen soil

  • Peat Swamp Forest

    G2G
    VB2020

    A forest type occurring in waterlogged, nutrient poor, anaerobic and acidic peat soils

  • Planted Forest

    G2G
    VB3000

    An area planted with exotic or/and indigenous forest tree species and managed as forest plantation

  • Grass

    G2G
    VC1110

    An area dominated by grass either natural (for example; lalang, wild grass) or planted (for example; turf grass)

  • Cleared Land

    G2G
    VC1130

    An area cleared of vegetation

  • Perennials Crops

    G2G
    VA1000

    Land cultivated with long-term crops which do not have to be replanted for several years (such as cocoa and coffee); land under trees and shrubs producing flowers, such as roses and jasmine; and nurseries (except those for forest trees, which should be classified under "forest").

    Metadata

  • Cocoa

    G2G
    VA1020

    An area planted primarily with cocoa which produce chocolate for industries. Cocoa is a tropical rain-forest tree cultivated for its beans which are contained in large numbers in ovoid pods growing directly on the trunk and on the large branches.

  • Coconut

    G2G
    VA1030

    An area planted primarily with coconuts. Coconuts are classified as a fibrous one-seeded drupe. A drupe is a fruit with a hard stony covering enclosing the seed (like a peach or olive) and comes from the word drupa meaning overripe olive. At an immature stage, the fruit (water coconut) contains mainly water and a little jelly-like meat instead of the hard white flesh (meat - endosperm) found in mature coconuts
