Results aggregated at provincial units, NUTS level 2 or 3.
Ranges for levels of increase are: very high for above 100 % increase with respect to the total number of core forest patches in 1990; high for the range 50–100%; medium for the range 25–50 %; low for the range 5–25%; and very low for below 5%.

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; core forest from mathematical morphology-based software GUIDOS from Soille and Vogt, 2009, and GIS analysis. Results aggregated at provincial units, NUTS level 2 or 3. Ranges for levels of increase are: very high for above 100 % increase with respect to the total number of vore forest patches in 1990; high for 50-100 %; medium for 25-50 %; lov for 5-25 %; and very low for below 5 %.
