Welcome to the EOC Geoservice

Grassland mowing dynamics (i.e. the timing and frequency of mowing events) have a strong impact on grassland functions and yields. As grasslands in Germany are managed on small-scale units and grass grows back quickly, satellite information with high spatial and temporal resolution is necessary to capture grassland mowing dynamics.

As part of our latest product releases, we introduce two innovative layers: Frequency [1] displays the number of times grassland is mown per year, while First Cut [2] shows the exact date (DOY) of the first mowing event each year. These products provide valuable insights into mowing strategies, enabling more precise planning and analysis in agriculture and landscape management.

The data is available in our EOC Download Service [3], offered as both map layers [4] and individual STAC Collections [5] [6]. This ensures easy access and integration into various workflows, providing users with flexible options to utilize the data in their projects and analyses.
