Past land cover trends Past land cover trends The completion of CLC2012 extends the reference European landuse/land cover time series to a quarter of century. This poses the challenge to synthesize and extract the relevant trends from an overwhelming amount of data. Therefore a systematic approach with a consistent conceptual framework like the LEAC is required to analyse past trends. In parallel, the period 20016-2012 has seen an evolution on the land monitoring, in particular the implementation of high resolution layers (soil sealing, forest, wetlands,…) which provide complementary information widening the opportunity to deepen on the analysis of land use/land cover dynamics. Moreover, development of methodologies to spatialise statistics in order to integrate with land use/land cover data has led to the analysis of land dynamics from a systemic perspective like land resource efficiency. All these elements need to be integrated in order to provide a comprehensive analysis of land use/land cover past trends in Europe. UPCOMING
