Our figures show a dramatic environmental deterioration between 1950 and 2005. The main proximate drivers of this landscape degradation are the effects of urban sprawl on former agricultural areas located in the coastal plains, together with the

The main objective of the BIOPRESS project was to determine historical changes (1950 – 1990 – 2000) in land cover across Europe for the purpose of measuring changes in habitats and their biodiversity. The BIOPRESS project is strongly linked to CORINE Land Cover project, as it uses the same 44 class nomenclature (CORINE Land Cover nomenclature: http://reports.eea.eu.int/COR0-landcover/en). The adopted approach was to sample Europe using 2 x 15 km transects and 30 x 30 km windows, containing one or more Natura-2000 sites, and establish changes by finding and ...

Our objective is to determine whether pine tree cover (early-successional species) and oak tree cover (late-successional species), used as a surrogate of successional stage of peri-urban fragmented forests in the Vallès lowlands (Catalonia, NE, Spain), are primarily
