Estimated High Nature (HNV) presence in Europe

Methodology

Estimated HNV presence in Europe based on Corine Land Cover 2006

Data sources:
Corine 2006 (v.16), Natura2000
IBAs Birdlife International
PBAs De Vlinderstichting Wageningen (NL)
(c) EuroGeographics for administrative boundaries

National HNV contributions (HR, SR, CH) database 08/2012

Cartography: Umweltbundesamt and EEA

Methodology: EEA & JRC 2007 adapted by ETC-SIA 2012

Units

basic unit 1 ha (100*100m...INSPIRE grid) aggregated to 1*1 km2 grid.

Additional information

How to read the map:

Green areas show likelihood to contain primarily HNV land, on the basis of a stratified selection of CORINE land cover clases per country and environmental zone, and national biodiversity data when available. The values in the map are a proxy for the proportion of HNV in each 1 km2 cell.
