IDLULC classDescription

1Primary dryland forestForests that grow on dry land habitats, which can be lowland forest, hills, mountains, high plains, or tropical forests that have not experienced human intervention.
2Secondary dryland forestForests that grow on dry land habitats, which can be lowland forest, hills, mountains, high plains, or tropical forests that have undergone human intervention.
3Wetland forestForests that grow in wetland habitats, such as swamps (brackish, peat). Wetland areas have lowland characteristics that extend along the coast, low elevation, and are influenced by tides and other seawater.
4FieldsAreas used for agricultural activities with the type of crops in the dry land.
5Rice fieldsAgricultural areas and waterlogged or given water with irrigation technology, rain, valleys, or tides characterised by a pattern of ridges, with the planting of short-lived Canaan food (rice).
6SettlementsAreas of land used as a residential environment and places for activities that support life.
7Open fieldsOpen land without cover that is natural, seminatural, or artificial.
8PlantationsLand used for agricultural activities without replacement crop for two years. Harvests usually take place after a year or more.
9ShrubsDryland areas that have been overgrown with a variety of heterogeneous and homogeneous natural vegetation with sparse to dense density. The area is naturally dominated by low vegetation.
10FishpondsLand for fishing or salting activities that appear with a bund pattern around the coast.
11Water bodiesAll types of water areas, such as seas, rivers, lakes, or reservoirs.
