Figures used

Landscape fragmentation per 1 km² grid Landscape fragmentation per 1 km² grid Map shows the patterns of fragmentation in the 29 countries investigated based on a grid of cells size of 1 km2
Condition of Agro ecosystems map Condition of Agro ecosystems map The map shows the condition of agro ecosystems map. Based on pan-European High Nature Value farmland map using as mask the agricultural categories of Corine land cover map of 2006.
Aggregated indicator for management intensity pressure on cropland Aggregated indicator for management intensity pressure on cropland Aggregated indicator for management intensity pressure on cropland (arable land) as combination of land management (fertiliser and irrigation) and crop yield. low index = low degree of agricultural management related pressures; high index = high degree of agricultural management related pressures.
Environmental sensitivity to climate change Environmental sensitivity to climate change
European map estimating the level of invasion by alien plant species European map estimating the level of invasion by alien plant species European map estimating the level of invasion by alien plants, based on the mean percentage of neophytes in vegetation plots corresponding to individual CORINE land-cover classes (see text for details). Within the mapping limits, areas with non-available land-cover data or insufficient vegetation-plot data are blank
Agricultural land use intensity Agricultural land use intensity The map show the agricultural land use intensity
Exposure of ecosystems to eutrophication Exposure of ecosystems to eutrophication The maps show areas where critical loads for eutrophication of freshwater and terrestrial habitats are exceeded (CSI 005) by nitrogen depositions caused by emissions between 1980 (top left) and 2030 (bottom right)
Landscape fragmentation per 1 km² grid in 2009 Landscape fragmentation per 1 km² grid in 2009 Map shows the patterns of fragmentation in the 29 countries investigated based on a grid of cells size of 1 km2
Total nitrogen input to agro-ecosystems (cropland and grassland) Total nitrogen input to agro-ecosystems (cropland and grassland) Total N input to agricultural soils for the year 2010, in kg/ha/yr. Input includes manure application, inorganic fertilizer input, atmospheric deposition and biological fixation.
