The Figures about SEBI 004

.
Description
Dear Madams and Sirs of the EEA,

the figures of the link below show changes in ecosystem coverage (SEBI 004). Have you got any data about the percentage values, how they are in total? I couldn't find any information like: Europe is covered by 30% forest, 20% artificial habitats etc.

Best regards
Mattu

Hi Mattu,
SEBI indicator 04 indeed responds to central questions about the changes which are occurring in the distribution of Europe's ecosystems and habitats. Regarding up-to-date information about the coverage of particular land cover types, please see the following links:
Total area in km2 as well as percentage values of land cover types based on Corine Land Cover 2006 data for the whole EU can be found here: http://www.eea.europa.eu/[…]/land-cover-2006-and-changes-1. PDF file “Changes in European land cover from 2000 to 2006 “ can be found in the “Documents”. Picture 1.1 gives % of EU land cover types in 2006. Summary balance table 200-2006 gives the area in square km for 2006, and individual land cover types are detailed further in the document.
For individual EU countries, values of land cover types based on Corine Land Cover 2006 data can be found here:
http://www.eea.europa.eu/[…]/land-cover-2006-and-changes#tab-documents. The Corine Land Cover inventory update for 2012 in currently under production.
Data on EU land cover in %, based on LUCAS survey 2009, published by Eurostat can be found here:
http://epp.eurostat.ec.europa.eu/[…]/5-04102010-BP-EN.PDF. Based on LUCAS survey 2012: http://europa.eu/rapid/press-release_STAT-13-154_en.htm. Land cover overview, based on LUCAS surveys 2009 and 2012, in square km, can be found here:

Hopefully this answers your question.

Thank you very much! Yes, it does Answer my question completely.
But it seems as if following the links containing "[...]" doesn't work. And if someone else, who didn't receive an email aswell, also wants the data... However, here are all the links hopefully without "[...]":

- http://www.eea.europa.eu/[…]/land-cover-2006-and-changes#tab-documents

I feared it would be like this. The System shortens the links automatically, and some links don't work further on.
Now I relise that they still work, just try a few times :) (sometimes you will get the answer: "It seems that the page doesn't exist")
