Fancybox relations

Pressures from urbanisation and transport on semi-natural areas Urban sprawl is increasing, but there are insufficient data available to enable an assessment of the extent to which the re-use of previously developed land is reducing pressures for development on virgin land.

Average total deposition of sulphate, 1995-1998 Notes: At 309 intensive monitoring plots

Nitrate vulnerable zones, EU Note: the Commission assessment is based on a (non-exhaustive) review on available information on waters with excessive nitrate concentrations threatened with eutrophication.

Footprint of transport infrastructure Most areas of the EU area highly fragmented and this has negative implications for biodiversity

Urban sprawl around Padua and Venice Notes: Example of urban sprawl in rural landscapes.

Average total deposition of nitrogen, 1995-1998 Notes: At 309 intensive monitoring plots

Urban sprawl around Copenhagen Notes: Example of urban sprawl along coasts and roads.

Commercial fish stocks outside safe biological limits

Changes in defoliation of main tree species, 1994-2000 European forests showed a continuous deterioration in conditioning between 1986 and 1995, using crown condition as an indicator

Locations of major offshore installations Notes: Locations as mentioned in notices to mariners

Mean spring-summer concentrations of chlorophyll-like pigments Notes: 'spring-summer' covers from April to September

Urban sprawl around Grenoble Notes: Example of urban sprawl along valleys.
