It stretches across all 28 EU countries, both on land and at sea. The aim of the network is to ensure the long-term survival of Europe's most valuable and threatened species and habitats that are listed under the Birds Directive and the Habitats Directive. Previously, in 2015 a selection of N2K grassland-rich sites (chosen from within five grassland habitats types, namely, 6210, 6240, 6250, 6510 and 6520) and covering approx. 160.000 km2 was mapped, including a 2km buffer to allow for an analysis of pressures and threats. The mapping product offered a detailed LC/LU product applying a hierarchical nomenclature with 62 classes. The selected sites were mapped for both the 2006 and 2012 reference years. In 2017, to allow for a harmonisation of the nomenclatures applied to the different local component products (Riparian Zones, N2K and the future Coastal Zone product), a revision of the nomenclature was undertaken which resulted in a reduction of classes. The N2K status layer now differentiates 55 thematic LC/LU classes. Due to the revision of the nomenclature the original dataset had to be re-coded (the old dataset is discontinued) and the new dataset, with an increased area, offers currently a LC/LU product covering approximately 300.000 km2 The mapping exercise will continue until middle 2019 when a final dataset covering approximately 630.000 km2 will be made available. An extension to other habitat types is also foreseen and is currently under discussion. 2017-12-13T00:00:00+01:00 Land use E00125901 Centro Nacional de Información Geográfica en CNIG Download Center https://centrodedescargas.cnig.es/CentroDescargas/catalogo.do?Serie=NAT2K Natura 2000 - Grassland 2012 Habitats and biotopes Copernicus Land Monitoring Service WMS https://servicios.idee.es/wms/copernicus-landservice-spain?service=WMS&request=GetCapabilities&version=1.3.0 Natura 2000 Instituto Geográfico Nacional Copernicus N2K Land cover text/wms WMS GDB x-lml/x-gdb
