Public, local, nature-based, outdoor recreational activities include a wide variety of practices ranging from walking, jogging or running in the closest green urban area or at the river/lake/sea shore, riding bike in nature after work, picnicking, observing fl...

The EU urban population exposed to PM10 concentrations exceeding the daily limit value on more than 35 days in a year measures the percentage of population in urban areas exposed to PM10 concentrations exceeding the daily limit value (50 µg/m3) established by ...

Removal capacity is calculated as the product of dry deposition velocity and pollutant concentration (Wesely and Hicks, 2000), derived on the context of the LUISA modelling platform.

Network efficiency is an index that indicates the distance between the connectivity offered by an existing, planned or modelled transport network and the connectivity offered by an ideal network. A network efficiency value of 1 indicates that the network conne...

The share of residential areas over the total land area indicator aims to assess the proportion of land used for residential, sport and leisure purposes and green urban areas over the total surface area. The level of detail of this indicator is per NUTS0 and N...

The industrial/commercial/services (ICS) economic output per unit of ICS area- is the ratio of the Gross Value Added (GVA) of the industrial, commercial and services sectors by the industrial, commercial and services land use, and it is expressed as million EU...

This indicator is calculated by dividing the projected population in a region by the region total area. The level of spatial detail of this indicator is per NUTS0 and NUTS2.

The food and feed production indicator aims to assess the intensity of the agricultural production in Europe. The unit of measurement is thousands of tons per hectare.

The indicator reflects productivity in terms of water use, so gives a measure of a country's water use efficiency.

Green Infrastructure (GI) is defined as a strategically planned and delivered network of high quality green spaces and other environmental features that are structurally and functionally “interconnected and therefore bring added benefits and are more resilient...

Removal by urban vegetation was calculated as the product of deposition velocity and NO2 concentration. Air pollutant deposition velocity was assessed following the approach proposed by Pistocchi et al. (2010) that estimates deposition velocity (DV) as a linea...

Land Use Regression mode (LUR), were used to simulate PM10 concentrations at very high resolution (100m) built using pollutant concentrations for 2010 from monitoring sites as dependent variable, and several parameters (independent variables) defined within a ...

Build-up areas cover the land classified as urban, industrial and abandoned urban and industrial. Land take means the total land taken by built-up areas, in other words the amount of change in built-up areas, within a specific period. In this indicator, first ...

Build-up areas cover the land classified as urban, industrial and abandoned urban and industrial. Annual land take means the total land taken by built-up areas in a yearly basis, in other words the annual amount of change in built-up areas, within a specific p...

The indicator measures the degree to which species movements between different parts of the landscape are interrupted by barriers. The more barriers fragmenting the landscape, the more difficult will be the species movement through the landscape. This is measu...

Soil retention, is calculated as soil loss without vegetation cover minus soil loss including the current land use/cover pattern. Specifically, this indicator takes into account climate data (observed measurements for rainfall and modelled for snow), topograph...

The C-stocks change indicator estimates the change in the stocks of carbon in organic compounds in mineral soils (Mt C year-1) and CO2 emissions or removals (Mt CO2 equivalent year-1) from land use and management changes for mineral soils.

The indicator shows the spatial distribution of CO (Carbon monixide) emissions over Europe. The total emissions for each country are derived from the GAINS model. This is the first version of the dataset (1.0) and it has not been extensively validated yet.
