+ 1 for a wiki page about landuse/landcover mapping in Belgium. I once found this interesting page about mapping the environnement in OSM in Ukraine: http://www.50northspatial.org/map-nature-openstreetmap-approaches-issues-key-tags/. I think the OSM tagging should be adapted to countries/ecoregions and consensus about which tags to use could be summarized in regional/national wiki page.
To me, it is not a problem to map temporary things. Think about some shops in the most unstable commercial areas: their life expectancy is probably about one year, just like agricultural landuse. But I must say that, around my place in Ardenne/Gaume, many meadows are permanent: there exist for decades simply because they cannot be ploughed easily (presence of many trees, no drainage and/or superficial bedrocks) and because they would anyway produce too low crop yield. For many applications (environmental applications and detailed topographic mapping), it is also worth tagging forest with leaf_type=*, leaf_cyle=* and even taxon=* for monospecies forests. But this is also something that changes over the years. Nowadays, many fir trees (PIcea abies) are being replaced by either deciduous/broadleaved trees or Douglas (Pseudotsuga menziesii). Most of Belgian forest (especially in Wallonia) could be remapped in order to add these specific tags. So would you agree to make a wiki page for landuse/landcover mapping in Belgium, and to discuss the issues there?
