This publication is the result of a collaboration between several DGs of the European Commission and the European Environment Agency, it focuses on use of the Land Use/Cover Area Frame Statistical Survey (LUCAS) for building landscape and agri-environmental indicators. It also extends the analysis of independent and joint use of land cover information, administrative data and geo-referenced statistical surveys which are important for providing information on fluxes, stocks and pressure indicators and explores data sets EU-wide. Topics range from specific ones, i.e. bird diversity, to a complete land cover classification.
