CORINE Land Cover is one of the most relevant Land Use Cover (LUC) databases in Europe because
of its degree of detail and long time series. Although some studies have assessed the uncertainty
and inconsistencies of the database for specific years and periods, no work has been found that
analyses all the available CORINE time series (1990–2018). In this study, we analyse the inconsistencies
of the CORINE time series for a specific Spanish region (Asturias). To this end, we
compare and analyse the CORINE status layers (CLC) and the CORINE layers of changes (CHA) for
each of the mapped periods: 1990–2000, 2000–2006, 2006–2012, 2012–2018. Results show how
CLC and CHA layers provide different information, especially after the change of production of
CORINE Spain in 2012. The last two CORINE editions (2012, 2018) show a lot of technical changes
that make the use of CLC layers very uncertain. In addition, mixed categories, whose definition is
imprecise and, therefore, more uncertain, are behind most of detected change in both types of
CORINE layers (CHA, CLC).
