Accuracy and uncertainties

The Corine land cover data set is based on a minimal unit of 25 hectares and this implies that smaller areas of certain habitat types and linear features may not be adequately detected. Other data sets (e.g. statistical offices reporting for forests, cropland, grassland area) cannot be combined in this indicator calculation because the different definitions used as well as the different frequencies in updating will produce incomparable trends.\n\nRepresentativeness of data at national level: time differences between regions may happen in most countries and these are documented in the CLC metadata."
