Riparian Zones 2012

Riparian Zones 2012 (RPZ_2012)

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.

Riparian Zones Land Cover/ Land Use layer 2012 product contains a single status layer.

Vector checks

vector.unzip

Check description: Delivery file can be unzipped.

Required check, the check cannot be skipped.

---

vector.naming

Check description: Naming is in accord with specification.

Required check, the check cannot be skipped.

Requirements: Each Riparian Zone product must be in a geodatabase (gdb), GeoPackage (gpkg) or shapefile (shp) format. The geodatabase must contain one feature dataset with one feature class.

Naming convention:

The filename must match regex:

^rpz_(?P<aoi_code>du[0-9]{3})[a-z]_lclu2012_v[0-9]{2}$

• the name must start with ‘rpz_’
• followed by an AOI code which consists of: Letters ‘du’ followed by 3 numbers
• followed by ‘_lclu’
• followed by ‘2012’ (2012 is the reference year)
• the name must end with ‘_v’ followed by 2 numbers

The boundary source is: boundary_rpz.shp

Example of filename: rpz_du003_lclu2012_v01.gdb
