Multi-functional LPIS: several scheme-related thematic layers: AEM, GAEC-LF, EFA Slope categories RP-homogen categories, and eligibility criterias for HNV, AEM zonal activities Source: https://www.mepar.hu/mepar/ Additional LPIS layers: - AP level, - RP level, - LPIS independent units on different scale: is RP categorisation recommended? - individual geometry: dividing RP, AP GAEC LFs Risk of waterlog erosion: AEM afforestation SRC PG categories GAEC LF + EFA EFA only
Development of data content increases the possibility of spatial and administrative controls 1. area control for sum eligible area 2. GSAA: parcels cannot overlap with each other + with non-eligible area tolerances/limits? Is AL/PG/PC control necessary? as numeric sum on RP level, or with it s full spatial element? AL/PG boundaries have higher annual change rate!
Stable visible boundary or smaller blocks to increase the efficiency of administrative controls? Main LPIS data input approaches: only declared parcels are stored additional eligible area by request Wall-to-wall full LPIS-GIS coverage, containing not only declared eligible area, less input to introduce a new scheme with different eligibility Changing of RP delineation rules or developing additional processes to monitor the non-declared area? Using less stable RP of physical block boundaries leads to more updates, and worst understanding of RP! Boundary visibility has less priority in farmers block and AP based systems, while stability is their key factor! Different annual rates of LU and AL-PG changes!
Multi annual or actual use defines elligbility? Eligible: land can be utilised by the usual agricultural practices or land actively used/maintained? Temporal aspects: multi-annual or seasonal (inter annual) characteristics of PG use: water-effect, mid season dry period, not closed herbaceous vegetation When to apply spatial exclusion reduction, or ELP? Can AP and RP eligibility definition be different in the future? 2015 2016
Minimum mapping unit capability of the image and efficiency of LPIS to avoid the risk of payment 100 m2 MMU is not reliable on 40 cm GSD image for natural vegetation with fuzzy boundaries Sharp edge = AL or a well reflecting element is needed to detect and to delineate features Can a system be accepted if no pro-rata is used?
MMU and EFA size limits 170 m2 natural vegetation, not used for agricultural activity inside AL can be delineated with proper accuracy, as the boundary of the ploughing presents a sharp edge of the parcel and the natural habitat. Source: JRC studies Should EFA be functioning as a reference area with such a small size and instability?
Exclusion of man-made costruction is not size dependent (DSCG/2014/33) Is this correct? Should e-poles be excluded?.they are artificial, stable and mappable but still seems too far out! Changing the definition or all these RP fails in LPISQA ETS.
