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.
The Riparian Zones products will 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.
Land Cover/Land Use (LC/LU) classification is tailored to the needs of biodiversity monitoring in a tailored buffer zone along large and medium-sized European rivers (with Strahler levels 3-8 derived from EU-Hydro). LC/LU is extracted from VHR satellite data and other available data in a buffer zone of selected rivers. The classes follow the pre-defined nomenclature on the basis of MAES typology of ecosystems (Level 1 to Level 4) and Corine Land Cover, providing 80 distinct thematic classes with a Minimum Mapping Unit (MMU) of 0.5 ha and a Minimum Mapping Width (MMW) of 10 m.
The production of the Riparian Zones products was coordinated by the European Environment Agency in the frame of the EU Copernicus programme.

Access to data is based on a principle of full, open and free access as established by the Copernicus data and information policy Regulation (EU) No 1159/2013 of 12 July 2013. This regulation establishes registration and licensing conditions for GMES/Copernicus users and can be found here. Free, full and open access to this data set is made on the conditions that:
When distributing or communicating Copernicus dedicated data and Copernicus service information to the public, users shall inform the public of the source of that data and information.
Users shall make sure not to convey the impression to the public that the user's activities are officially endorsed by the Union.
Where that data or information has been adapted or modified, the user shall clearly state this.
The data remain the sole property of the European Union. Any information and data produced in the framework of the action shall be the sole property of the European Union. Any communication and publication by the beneficiary shall acknowledge that the data were produced “with funding by the European Union”.

The National Land Survey of Iceland verified the RZ layer for year 2012 with the LACO-Wiki online tool. The verification results of the RZ2012 for Iceland are disappointing. The overall accuracy is only 62.6% (non weighted: 48%) and correctness of delineated area 39.3%. Detail of delineation on the other hand is very good; 88.6% correct and positional accuracy perfect (100%) compared to the CORE-3 2012 dataset (SPOT-5 images with 2,5 m spatial resolution). See more in report: "RZLC2012_VerificationReport_IS" at the download site of National Land Survey of Iceland.
