Classification Concepts The FAO Land Cover Classification System software is due to be released in its third version, and with it come four supporting volumes. The second volume is the User Manual which is a practical guide to all the features of the software version 3, with examples of how to make various types of classes e.g. for distinguishing managed and non-managed forest. The FAO LCCS is applicable to commercial use, national security, environmental protection, natural resource management, climate change mitigation and tracking of greenhouse gas emissions; and creates land classifications that are internationally transparent and comparable.
