Figures used

Loss of agricultural land to artificial surfaces in Europe from 1990 to 2000 The percentage of loss of agricultural land to artificial surfaces 1990-2000 has been more significant in the Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, western Portugal, the eastern coast of Spain and Sardinia.
The extent of forests, semi-natural areas, wetland and water bodies in Europe, 2000 Unit = ha
CORILIS map of urban temperatures, and locations of major increases
Green Background index derived from the combination of CORILIS layers The Green Background map is a modifiable map, both in terms of smoothing radii and minimum intensity
Application of the CORILIS methodology to CLC data for forests in Ireland using a 10 km smoothing radius over the 1 km x 1 km accounting grid
Patterns of urban sprawl across Europe, 24 countries, 1990-2000, 1 km x 1 km grid This version is identical to version 3, only the title is different.
Urban temperatures of Europe computed from Corine land cover Smoothed artificial surfaces (10 km radius)
The transfers of land between agriculture and forest and semi-natural cover types across Europe This maps shows the deviation from average of the conversion between forest and seminatural areas to agriculture (1990-2000), represented by NUTSX (NUTS3, NUTS2 mainly, NUTS0 in a few cases

Loss of land from agriculture to artificial surfaces by NUTS regions This maps shows the deviation from average of the urban sprawl (1990-2000), represented by NUTSX (NUTS3, NUTS2 mainly, NUTS0 in a few cases)

Land-take by artificial development (EEA core indicators, CSI014)
Consumption and formation of dry semi-natural land and wetland Unit = ha
Formation of new land cover in the region of Valencia, Spain Coloured areas on the image show where land cover change occurred between 1990 and 2000
Comparison of urban residential sprawl spatial distribution, by administrative regions and by grid-cells Urban residential sprawl, i.e
The transfers of land between pasture and arable cover types across Europe: net conversion from pasture to arable land and permanent crops, 24 countries, 1990-2000, ha per year This maps shows the deviation from average of the conversion between pasture and arable land (1990-2000), represented by NUTSX (NUTS3, NUTS2 mainly, NUTS0 in a few cases)
The magnitude of semi-natural vegetation, open bare surfaces, wetland and water bodies Unit = ha
Urban sprawl, 1975-1990-2000 Urban sprawl is shown as a % change based on the initial urban area for each coastal sector.
