Spread of artificial and/or agricultural surfaces into previously ‘core natural/semi-natural’ landscapes

The map shows the spread of artificial and/or agricultural surfaces into previously ‘core natural/semi-natural’ landscapes for the period 2000-2006. Reporting is made per province (NUTS 2/3), both in terms of absolute area (ha) and proportionally to the ‘core natural’ pattern cover in 2000. For example, one province in the West of Spain had its ‘core natural’ pattern reduced by 1.5% to 3% due to fragmentation by agricultural and/or artificial lands, from a cumulative area of more than 10 000 ha.

Annual impact of soil losses due to urbanisation

Graph showing annual impact of soil losses, due to urbanisation, on the production capability of agriculture between 1990 and 2000 based on an analysis of CORINE Land Cover Data
