Land cover 2012

Overview of land cover & change 2006-2012
The overall pace of land cover development in Greece is
average, compared to other European countries. The annual
land cover change rate of 0,19% means a significant increase
of the intensity of landscape development in the country,
comparing with the previous period 2000-2006.
The landscape development is driven mainly by forest creation
and management and also by changes due to natural and
multiple causes, both of them having doubled their intensities,
compared to the previous period. Recent felling and transition
is the most frequent flow, however, also other exchanges of
natural landscape are quite usual in Greece.
The artificial sprawl in the country is very intensive, with
artificial land take rate of 0,71% being one of the highest in
Europe. However, comparing with previous period 2000-2006,
characterized by a rate 0,93%, it means a slight slowdown. In
both periods, artificial development is represented mainly by
construction, however, also other artificial flows are intensive,
with the exception of residential sprawl, which is rather
insignificant in Greece after the year 2000.
Note: The results presented here are based on a change analysis of 44 land cover
types mapped consistently on a 1:100.000 scale across Europe over more than
decade between 2000-2006-2012 - see Corine land cover (CLC) programme for

Artificial development driven by construction

Despite its slight slowdown, artificial development in Greece is still one of the most intensives in Europe in the period 2006-2012. It is
driven by construction, but also extension of mines and quarrying areas as well as the sprawl of industrial and commercial sites which
are quite significant in the country. On the other hand, urban diffuse residential sprawl, which was quite intensive during the previous
period, is much slower in 2006-2012. The artificial development is frequently realized also through recycling of developed urban land,
represented mostly by transformation of construction sites into developed urban units. As a result of these processes, transportation
networks and industrial or commercial units are the artificial classes with the highest formation of area.

Agriculture (2006-2012)

Decrease of conversion from arable to pasture

The intensity of agricultural development in Greece is low, compared with other land cover flows in the country as well as with the intensity from the
previous period 2000-2006. The overall decrease of agricultural development has been caused in particular by decrease of extension of pasture over
former arable land, which was the main driver of internal agriculture development in the country during the previous period. On the other hand, an
increase of the other internal conversions of arable land has been observed, represented by conversion between permanently irrigated land and rice
fields. However, the most significant process in agricultural development in Greece between 2006 and 2012 is the consumption of land with the following
structure: pasture (30%), complex cultivation patterns (20%), non-irrigated arable land (18%), agriculture with natural vegetation (11%) and olive groves
(11%) by artificial sprawl and also by water bodies creation. As a result, most of agricultural land cover classes show a negative balance of net change,
with the exception of permanently irrigated land.

Increased intensity of natural development

The development of natural landscape in Greece is very intensive, driven mainly by increased forest creation and management as well as
changes due to natural and multiple causes, both of them having doubled their intensities, compared to the previous period 2000-2006.
Increased recent felling and transition was the most frequent flow in the country, however, also other exchanges of natural landscape are quite
usual in Greece. Forest and shrub fires destroyed mainly mixed and coniferous forests and sclerophyllous vegetation areas. Afforestation was
represented by transformation of burnt and sclerophyllous vegetation areas into mainly transitional woodland. There also occurs a large
amount of semi-natural rotation (conversions between sclerophylous vegetation and burnt areas into sparsely vegetated areas and
sclerophyllous vegetation), semi-natural creation (conversion from transitional woodland into sparsely or sclerophyllously vegetated areas) and
water bodies creation (mainly over former pastures). All these flows have significantly higher intensity, compared with the previous period
2000-2006.
