Comparable data is produced across Europe using earth observation methods developed in partnership with private industry. The Environmental Protection Agency, as members of the European network EIONET, provides data quality assessments and disseminates the data for Ireland. The Riparian Zones 2012 Green Linear Elements (GLE) dataset aims to map ecologically significant, structural landscape elements which act as important dispersion vectors of biodiversity. Riparian zones represent transitional areas occurring between land and freshwater ecosystems, characterised by distinctive hydrology, soil and biotic conditions and strongly influenced by the stream water. They provide a wide range of riparian functions (e.g. chemical filtration, flood control, bank stabilization, aquatic life and riparian wildlife support, etc.) and ecosystem services. Green Linear Elements within the riparian zone comprise hedgerows and lines of trees and offer a wide range of ecosystem services, they are linked to both landscape richness and fragmentation of habitats, with a direct potential for restoration and protection. The GLE product aims to provides reliable and detailed geospatial information on the occurrence and spatial distribution of small linear vegetation features such as hedgerows, scrub and tree rows. Like the Riparian Land Use Land Cover dataset it provides data for areas identified within riparian areas that lie within a dynamic buffer of a Strahler Level 3 Rivers and above. Some further context is provided in this paper <a href="https://land.copernicus.eu/user-corner/technical-library/europes-green-arteries-a-continental-dataset-of-riparian-zones">here.</a> The data aims to support the objectives of several European legal acts and policy initiatives, such as the EU Biodiversity Strategy to 2020, the Habitats and Birds Directives and the Water Framework Directive. It also aims to give further information on Green Infrastructure in riparian zones. Environmental Protection Agency PO Box 3000 Johnstown Castle Estate Wexford Co.
