Environmental information systems
This metadata refer to datasets presenting the ecosystem wetlands extent. This includes 20 wetland classes which, besides inland and coastal wetlands, includes transitional ecosystems corresponding to wetlands such as riparian forests, wet grasslands, estuaries, or rice fields.

Pressures on forest ecosystems
The pressure on forest ecosystems dataset is based on three data sources a) Fast track ecosystem capital accounts (forest growth & harvest – disaggregated to 1km grid), b) Potential forest management (gradient of intensity of intervention with the natural processes in a forest) and c) Forest fragmentation (forest ecosystem network connected by forest bridges – GUIDOS Morphological Spatial Pattern Analysis).
Ecosystem types of Europe
The 'Ecosystem types of Europe' datasets combines the Copernicus land service portfolio, marine bathymetry and seabed information with the non-spatial EUNIS habitat classification for a better biological characterization of ecosystems across Europe.
The datasets aims to contribute to a better biological characterization of terrestrial and marine ecosystems across Europe (EEA-38 and United Kingdom). It represents probabilities of EUNIS (EUropean Nature Information System) habitat presence in terrestrial, freshwater and marine ecosystems. The work supports the Mapping and Assessment of Ecosystems and their Services (MAES), Action 5 of Target 2 the EU Biodiversity Strategy to 2020, established to achieve the Aichi targets of the Convention of Biological Diversity (CBD).
High Resolution Layer: Imperviousness Density Accounting Layer
The imperviousness layers constitutes the main status layers. They are per-pixel estimates of impermeable cover of soil (soil sealing) and are mapped as the degree of imperviousness (0-100%). Imperviousness change layers were produced as a difference between the reference years and are presented 1) as degree of imperviousness change (100% - +100%), in 20m and 100m pixel size, and 2) a classified (categorical) 20m change product.
