Landscape composition of landuse classes from detailed land cover map and shannon diversity in series of buffer areas

Abstract: Based on detailed land cover map created by LandKlif project, we calculated the landscape composition as well as shannon diversity based on land use class (LUclass) for 100 - 6000 meters (100-1000 meter with 100 meter intervals, 1000 - 6000 meter with 500 meter interval) buffer area around landklif plots Method: We combined 3 different land cover maps to create a detailed land cover map for 6 km buffer area around landklif study plots. We used ATKIS 2019 land cover as basis, added details from Invekos 2019 and Corine 2018. We categorized the land cover into 6 classes, further subcategorized them into sub land use classes. The original classification from different sources are kept. In case of overlapping, the priority goes (from high to low): natural > forest > grassland > arable > urban > water. In case of overlapping between data source: transitional woodland-shrub from Corine > Invekos > ATKIS. Areas outside of Bayern are filled with only Corine data. The coordinate system of the shapefile is ETRS89 / UTM zone 32N (EPSG:25832).
