In 1985 the Corine programme was initiated in the European Union. Corine means 'coordination of information on the environment' and it was a prototype project working on many different environmental issues. The Corine databases and several of its programmes have been taken over by the EEA. One of these is an inventory of land cover in 44 classes, and presented as a cartographic product, at a scale of 1:100 000. This database is operationally available for most areas of Europe (http://www.eea.europa.eu/publications/COR0-landcover).

TERENO Harz - central german lowland - Hohes Holz plot data includes spatially continuous datasets such as: Land Cover, Land Use Change, historic Land Use, Management, geological Parent Material, Soil Texture, Aspect, Elevation, Slope, Forest Stand Age Please follow the method file for specific and detailed information.

This dataset contains information about the land cover and land use changes occurred for the time period 1957-2007 in an arid area of southeastern Spain. Such time frame was divided in three sub periods, i.e., 1956-1999, 1999-2003, 2003-2007. Three change processes was estimated: intensification, naturalization, neutral and no change in each ecoregion.

Since the mid-1990s a series of subalpine grassland sites have been established at the Kaserstattalm, Stubai Valley. They include hay meadows, pastures and abandoned grassland which have partley been reforested. The overarching aim of all studies is to assess effects of global changes on ecological processes and related functional relationships in mountain grasslands. Therefor basic shapefiles and maps were created. This dataset includes only shapefiles representing: historical land use map,soil maps (soil type, soil depth, and organic soil layer ) and vegetation cover.

The European nature information system, EUNIS, brings together European data from several databases and organisations into three interlinked modules on sites, species and habitat types. The EUNIS information system is part of the European Biodiversity data centre (BDC) and it is a contribution to the knowledge base for implementing the EU and global biodiversity strategies and the 7th Environmental Action Programme. The EUNIS information system provides access to the publicly available data in the EUNIS database. The information includes: (Data on species, habitat types and designated sites compiled in the framework of Natura 2000 (EU Habitats and Birds Directives); the EUNIS habitat classification; data from material compiled by the European Topic Centre of Biological Diversity; Information on species, habitat types and designated sites mentioned in relevant international conventions and in the IUCN Red Lists; Specific data collected in the framework of the EEA's reporting activities, which also constitute a core set of data to be updated periodically, e.g. Eionet priority dataflow Nationally designated areas (CDDA)).

The aim of the dataset is studying the effect of land-use on the plant species richness of different dry habitats. The field site network consists of 16 sites, of 5 km 5 km each, representing all major land-use/land cover types characteristic to the region (agricultural land, abandoned agricultural land, tree plantation, semi-natural grassland, and forest) in varying proportions. The first survey was made between 2006-2008, the second between 2019- 2021.

The analyses are focused on monitoring coastal sand dunes landscape (mapping) of the central Adriatic area, which are representative of Mediterranean dune ecosystems and are partially included in the long-term ecological monitoring network (LTER - site code: LTER_EU_IT_081). Based on the use of specific GIS software and integrating photo-interpretation and classification of remotely sensed data, the study depict multi-temporal changes by mapping and updating land cover and vegetation information (1954- to date) of the cast of south Abruzzo and Molise regions. Specific attention is given to the identification of the seashore, dune habitats (coastal plant communities) and land cover types at a detailed spatial scale (1:5000).
