General datasets

CORINE Land Cover
Composition of current and historical CLC datasets

CORINE Land Cover (CLC) product offers a pan-European land cover and land use inventory with 44 thematic classes, ranging from broad forested areas to individual vineyards. The product is updated with new status and change layers every six years—with the most recent update made in 2018.

Imperviousness Density
Composition of imperviousness density time series datasets

This map composition contains Copernicus High Resolution Layer Imperviousness Density status layers for the reference years 2006-2024. The dataset represents the degree of imperviousness or artificial soil sealing as percentage values from 0 to 100%. The composition supports visual assessment of sealed surfaces, built-up areas, land take and urbanisation patterns across Europe.

Tree Cover Density
Composition of tree cover density time series datasets

Map composition comparing Copernicus High Resolution Layer Tree Cover Density datasets across selected reference years. The layers show proportional tree crown cover per pixel and support visual assessment of tree cover patterns and changes across Europe.

Small Woody Features 2021
Composition of small woody features across Europe

Map composition presenting the Copernicus High Resolution Layer Small Woody Features for the reference year 2021. The layer identifies small woody landscape elements such as hedgerows, shrubs and small patches of trees, supporting visual assessment of landscape structure, ecological connectivity and biodiversity-relevant features across Europe.

Grassland
Composition of grassland status time series datasets

Map composition comparing Copernicus High Resolution Layer Grassland status datasets across selected reference years. The layers distinguish grassland from non-grassland areas and support visual assessment of grassland distribution and temporal changes across Europe.

Urban Atlas – Land Use and Street Trees
Composition of urban land use and street tree data across Europe

Map composition presenting EEA Urban Atlas Land Use Raster data for 2006, 2012, 2018 and 2021, together with Street Tree Layer data for 2012, 2018 and 2021. The composition supports visual exploration of urban land-use patterns and changes over time, as well as the distribution of street trees across European urban areas.

Potential Flood-Prone Areas
Composition of potential flood-prone areas across Europe

Map composition presenting the EEA Potential Flood-Prone Area Extent dataset. The layer shows areas that may be affected by a 100-year flood event and supports visual assessment of flood exposure, climate adaptation needs and land-use planning constraints across Europe.

Water and Wetness Status
Composition of water and wetness status datasets across Europe

Map composition presenting Copernicus High Resolution Layer Water and Wetness status data. The layers provide information on the spatial distribution of permanent and temporary water and wet areas, supporting visual assessment of surface water and wetness patterns and their relationship with land use across Europe.

Elevation Breakdown
Composition of elevation-based landscape zones across Europe

Map composition presenting the EEA Elevation Breakdown layer derived from EU-DEM. The layer defines homogeneous terrain zones based on elevation, slope and distance to the sea, supporting interpretation of land use and landscape patterns across Europe.

Natura 2000 Protected Sites
European protected sites designated under the Habitats and Birds Directives.

Map composition presenting Natura 2000 protected sites across Europe, including areas designated under the Habitats Directive and Birds Directive. The layers support visual assessment of biodiversity conservation areas and potential land-use planning constraints.

Thematic map compositions

Urban Development in Flood-prone Areas
Exploring flood-prone areas in relation to built-up surfaces

This map combines Potential Flood-prone Areas and Imperviousness Density to highlight locations where flood-prone areas coincide with highly sealed or built-up surfaces. The composition supports a quick visual exploration of potential interactions between land use and environmental constraints.

Land Cover in Natura 2000 Protected Areas
Exploring land cover patterns within and around protected areas

This map combines Natura 2000 protected sites with CORINE Land Cover data to explore the types and spatial distribution of land cover within and around protected areas. The composition supports visual assessment of land-use patterns in relation to biodiversity conservation and protected landscapes across Europe.

Belgium Landscape Scenario in Protected and Flood-prone Areas
Exploring future landscape patterns in relation to nature conservation and flood-prone areas

This thematic map combines the Belgium landsystems scenario with Natura 2000 protected sites and Potential Flood-prone Areas. The composition provides a visual overview of how future landscape patterns relate to protected areas and locations potentially exposed to flooding, supporting exploration of environmental constraints and land-use planning considerations.


Practice cases

Practice Case Three-Countries Park
Online Map on Nature-based solutions in the Euregio Meuse-Rhine

The aim of this Nature-based solutions-webmap is to collect information on (implemented/planned/missing) nature-based solutions within the PlusChange project area. The map also serves as a working document, providing a geographic overview of implemented/planned projects, so that areas where measures are still needed can be seen more easily.

LandSystems Scenarios
Explore current and future land systems across Europe

Interactive maps and charts presenting current land systems and alternative future scenarios across nine European countries. The visualisations support exploration of spatial patterns and potential land-use changes.
