New data sets from earth observation show the diversity and utilisation of agricultural land [1]. This raster dataset depicts the main type of crop grown on each field in Germany each year. Crop types and crop rotation are of great economic importance and have a strong influence on the functions of arable land and ecology.
Based on Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 time series as well as LPIS data from some Federal States of Germany, 18 different crops or crop groups were mapped per pixel with 10 m resolution for Germany on an annual basis since 2018.
A full description of the method and results can be found in the publication [2].
The datasets will also be available for download soon.
