Overview
• Five times more changes are calculated
from transects (0.5 ha minimum mapping unit) then windows
(25 ha minimum mapping unit).
• The main land cover changes observed are
different between biogeograpical regions.
• Changes occur in opposite directions: e.g.
semi-natural areas are converted to arable in some areas
whilst arable is converting back to semi-natural in other
areas.
• Most changes are visible at Corine Land
Cover class level 2.
