Abstract
Basemap04 is a land use and land cover map for Denmark in 10 m resolution, combining a range of national registers and maps into one consistent layer. It is compiled by Aarhus University, Department of Environmental Science (DCE), as consultancy work for Statistics Denmark. Besides the detailed map, an aggregated version with 35 classes (lu_agg_2021) is distributed with a raster attribute table that names the classes.
