A landscape classification map of Ireland

The classification of a landscape can be used for stratification to increase the efficiency and representation of sampling or monitoring. This map was developed by the Project Team and presents a landscape classification of the Republic of Ireland, incorporating both physiographic and land cover data. The map was generated by geospatial and multivariate analysis of the Physiographic Units Map of Ireland (2018) and Corine Land Cover (2018). The map represents nine landscape classes, with a minimum mapping unit of 5 km2 and a working scale of 1:250,000.
