  1. Development of Land and Ecosystems Accounts in EuropeImplementation of land cover accountsDiscussion of accounts of land use functions Jean-Louis Weber, EEA London Group Meeting Rome, 5-7 November 2003

  2. Land & Ecosystems Accounts (LEAC) The SEEA methodological framework 2 pilot project run by EEA & ETCTE (UAB & GISAT) with the support of Eurostat Applications 1975-1990 for the European coast and 4 Central & Eastern Europe Countries, based on Corine land cover (CLC) London Group Meeting Rome, 5-7 November 2003

  3. CLC 1990 London Group Meeting Rome, 5-7 November 2003

  4. CORINE Land Cover Aggregated Nomenclature (Level 1bis) 1 Artificial surfaces 2 Agricultural areas 2.1+2.2 Arable Land & Permanent Crops 2.3+2.4 Pastures & Heterogeneous agricultural areas 3 Forests and semi-natural areas 3.1 Forests 3.2+3.2 Shrub and other semi-natural land 4 Wetlands 5 Water bodies London Group Meeting Rome, 5-7 November 2003

  5. Status of the CLC2000 production (March 03) + London Group Meeting Rome, 5-7 November 2003

  6. Example of CLC changes: Afforestation in a former mining area (Germany)left: 1990, right: 2000 London Group Meeting Rome, 5-7 November 2003

  7. CLC2000 : Antwerp (city & harbour)Size of grid cells : 4 km x 4 km London Group Meeting Rome, 5-7 November 2003

  8. CLC changes : Antwerp (city & harbour)Size of grid cells : 4 km x 4 km London Group Meeting Rome, 5-7 November 2003

  9. LEAC are based on spatial analysis London Group Meeting Rome, 5-7 November 2003

  10. Framework of Land Accounts proposed by the UNECE task force, presented in Tokyo, 1996 … London Group Meeting Rome, 5-7 November 2003

  11. … continued in the SEEA London Group Meeting Rome, 5-7 November 2003

  12. LEAC present outcome Stratification of the territory into accounting units: Administrative units Physical, ecological zones Dominant landscape types Definition and test of accounting methodology: Land cover stocks Land cover changes (from CLCy to CLCz) Land cover flows (which group changes into processes) 2 Reports and 2 Posters available at the Library of: http://eea.eionet.eu.int:8980/Public/irc/eionet-circle/leac/home London Group Meeting Rome, 5-7 November 2003

  13. Land accounting units • Grids • Administrative Units • River basins • Sea catchments • Bio-geographical regions • Coastal units • Dominant Landscape Types London Group Meeting Rome, 5-7 November 2003

  14. The relationship between basic and targeted accounts London Group Meeting Rome, 5-7 November 2003

  15. Account of Land Cover Flows of the European Coast COMMENT: Loss of ecosystems potentials generated by the use of land 26 types of land cover (green) are used for the formation of 10 types of new land cover (orange). At this level of aggregation, the only reverse flow is farmland abandonment. (NB: only changes > 1000 ha are considered) London Group Meeting Rome, 5-7 November 2003

  16. Main land cover flows on European coast, 1975-1990 London Group Meeting Rome, 5-7 November 2003

  17. Trends in marginal land on European coast, 1975-90, ha London Group Meeting Rome, 5-7 November 2003

  18. Net Intensification of Land Use, European coast, 1975-90, NUTS3 + = - London Group Meeting Rome, 5-7 November 2003

  19. Forest vs. Agriculture flows in the 4 CEEC London Group Meeting Rome, 5-7 November 2003

  20. Next steps • Tests of the use of the map of dominant landscape types in areas such as agri-environment indicators, ecosystems assessment, scenario making • Production of land cover accounts with CLC2000 • Analysis of trends of European territory in terms of regional land cover flows • Further development of accounts by land use functions (continuation of the case study on coastal tourism) • Broad dissemination of data & maps on the EEA website • Contacts: jean-louis.weber@eea.eu.int francoise.breton@uab.es (ETCTE) London Group Meeting Rome, 5-7 November 2003
