Think about some shops in the most unstable commercial areas: their life expectancy is probably about one year, just like agricultural landuse. But I must say that, around my place in Ardenne/Gaume, many meadows are permanent: there exist for decades simply because they cannot be ploughed easily (presence of many trees, no drainage and/or superficial bedrocks) and because they would anyway produce too low crop yield. <br><br></div>For many applications (environmental applications and detailed topographic mapping), it is also worth tagging forest with leaf_type=*, leaf_cyle=* and even taxon=* for monospecies forests. But this is also something that changes over the years. Nowadays, many fir trees (PIcea abies) are being replaced by either deciduous/broadleaved trees or Douglas (Pseudotsuga menziesii). Most of Belgian forest (especially in Wallonia) could be remapped in order to add these specific tags. <br><br></div>So would you agree to make a wiki page for landuse/landcover mapping in Belgium, and to discuss the issues there? <br><br></div>Julien<br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Mar 27, 2017 at 9:33 AM, Marc Gemis <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:marc.gemis@gmail.com" target="_blank">marc.gemis@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">On Mon, Mar 27, 2017 at 8:42 AM, joost schouppe<br>

I agree on the need of a wiki page with lot's and lot's of photos to<br>
get a better understanding of the different appearances of certain<br>
landscape forms.<br>
I've been trying to understand landuse tagging for the past year or so<br>
and I still feel very uncertain to map it myself.<br>
