Methodology:
The data derive from Corine Land Cover (CLC) for the years 1990 and 2000 and hence have the same geographical coverage and forest definition as CLC; connectivity derived from Conefor Sensinode software of Saura and Torné 2009, and GIS analysis. Range levels are expressed as % of increase (or decrease) of equivalent connected area in 1990. GIS analysis and results aggregated at provincial units, NUTS level 2 or 3.

Additional information
- In the period 1990-2000, the decrease of connectivity was significant in Denmark, France, The Iberian Peninsula, Ireland and Lithuania.
- The connectivity was stable in approximately half of Europe's territory and increasing or decreasing slightly in another 40 % (EEA, 2009).
