Hedgerows play an important role in maintaining biodiversity, carbon sequestration, soil stability and the ecological integrity of agricultural landscapes. In this dataset, hedgerows are mapped for the whole of Bavaria.

The release includes a vector dataset showing hedgerows in Bavaria derived from Orthophotos with a spatial resolution of 20 cm, taken in the period from 2019 to 2021. [1].

The datasets are available in our EOC Download Service [2] and offered as map layers [3]. A full description of the method and results can be found in the publication [4]
