Buffer: 0, Min Zoom level: 0

Describes the primary use of the land by humans or the physical material at the surface of the earth. It’s the landcover together with landuse in OpenStreetMap. Besides the data from OpenStreetMap, Natural Earth,OpenAddresses and some data collected by ThinkGeo are other data sources. The polygons are sorted by the area of the geometry to make sure we don't show small polygons at some zoom levels. {{:vectortile:schema:v2:landcover_v2.png}} ===== Columns ===== ==== class ==== A category of landcover, so that you can easily track a specific object. ^Value (class) ^Description^.| |aeroway |Areas for aerodrome,apron,heliport,helipad and runway.| |agriculture |Aboriginal Areas, such as farmland,orchard,plant_nursery, or vineyard.| |cemetery |Areas for cemeteries or graveyards.| |crop |Plant or animal product growing.| |hospital |hospital, nursing_home, social_facility, nursing_home, doctors grounds.| |School |Areas for college,kindergarten,school and university.| |grass |Grassland, meadow, or the grass areas with grasses(Poaceae) and other herbaceous(non-woody) plants growing.| |glacier |Glaciers or permanent ice/snow there.| |park |National parks, nature reserves, city parks, village greens, summer_camp, playgrounds etc.| |rock |Bare_rock, scree，shingle, quarry, bare_rock or gravel.| |scrub |Scrub, heath or bushes.| |sand |Sand, beach or loam.| |tundra |Land with ground below always frozen and no trees growing there. | |urban |A human settlement with high population density.| |wood |Areas for forest and trees.| |wetland |Moor, mud or wetland.| ==== type ==== Indicates a specific classification for the landcover, for example, "grassland","fell" for the class "grass".
