LandUse

Land use features specify the predominant human use of an area of land, for example commercial activity, recreation, farming, housing, education, or military use.

Land use features relate to LandCover features in the following way: land use is the human human activity being done with the land, while land cover is the physical thing that covers it.

TODO: Explain relationship to Land features.
