Additional information

Between 2000 and 2006:

• 31 % of the mixed cultivated land was lost due to the sprawl of economic infrastructures;

• 20 % was lost due to diffuse urban residential sprawl including associated services and infrastructures;

• 23 % of change was due to farmland abandonment with land being taken over by natural transition to woodland and scrub.
