Description: Satellite derived habitat mapping of Land Use categories. Input satellite imagery was Digital Globe WorldView-2, 8-band, 2 metre multi-spectral, 0.5 metre panchromatic. The imagery was acquired between 07/10/2011 and 20/05/2014. Automated and semi-automated image processing techniques were used, along with cartographic generalisation principles and local ground truthing and ecological knowledge. 11 Land Use categories are depicted. Within the terrestrial classification Minimum Mapping Units (MMUs) varied from 1 hectare to 25 hectares. The area of each feature is provided in hectares and kilometres squared. Areas were calculated using UTM39N and UTM40N. This data should always be used in conjunction with the Habitat, Land Use and Land Cover Delineation Project 2014 Classification Manual. The Land Use classification was based on the The Land Use Land Cover Scheme for Abu Dhabi Emirate(EAD, 2009).
