Definition: Modification
Category: Land Use/Land Cover
Land cover and land use change is commonly divided into two broad categories: conversion and modification. - Conversion refers to a change from one cover or use category to another (e.g. from forest to grassland). - Modification represents a change within one land use or land cover category (e.g. from rainfed cultivated area to irrigated cultivated area) due to changes in its physical or functional attributes. http://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/ramon/statmanuals/files/KS-34-00-407-__-I-EN.pdf#page=12
