Disclaimer:
- The objective of the HNV farmland map produced by EEA is to estimate the presence likelihood of HNV farmland within Europe using existing Europe-wide datasets. The EEA points out that the existing datasets may have drawbacks for HNV farmland identification and recommends therefore that the map be used as a proxy for the distribution of HNV farmland at European level appropriate for assessment purposes only.

The EEA & INSPIRE standard DEM, 100*100m.Environmental zones version 8 of the Environmental Stratification: Metzger, M.J., Bunce, R.G.H, Jongman, R.H.G, Müche,r C.A. and Watkins, J.W., (2005). A climatic stratification of the environment of Europe, Global Ecology and Biogeography 14: 549-563. Version 8 includes Cyprus and the European coastline has been made consistent with the CLC coastline. The environmental stratification does not cover Iceland. Turkey is only partially covered, therefore a similar stratification of environmental zones has been provided by the Turkish national experts.
Natura 2000 was used to provide information on protected sites in Europe. Additionally, nationally designated areas (CDDA) were applied in those countries where data of NATURA 2000 and the EMERALD network were not available (Turkey, Norway, Iceland, Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, FYR Macedonia). For Croatia the Emerald Network (proposal of NATURA 2000 for Croatia) was used.

Additional information
The HNV farmland map aims to gain a better insight into the distribution and extent of farmland that is of inherent biodiversity value, and to develop a more effective tool for carrying out further analyses on spatial and time trends.
A first version (2008) of the European HNV map was based on CORINE land cover 2000 and is available by contacting Maria-Luisa Paracchini directly: luisa.paracchini@jrc.ec.europa.eu
The enhanced update of HNV farmland in Europe was carried out in 2012 in the same way as the HNV farmland assessment according to the JRC/EEA methodology described in Paracchini, M. L.; Petersen, J.-E.; Hoogeveen, Y.; Bamps, C.; Burfield, I. and van Swaay, C., 2008. High Nature Value Farmland in Europe. An estimate of the distribution patterns on the basis of land cover and biodiversity data. JRC Scientific and Technical Reports. European Communities, Luxembourg.
The main focus of the 2012 exercise was to update the HNV farmland dataset based on the CLC data 2006 and to include countries previously not part of the European HNV farmland assessment.
