|---|---|---|
| Forest | Alluvial and very wet forest; Broadleaved deciduous woodland | 20% |
| Grassland | Humid grasslands; Mesophile grasslands | 35% |
| Wetlands (inland) | 10% | |
| Artificial landscapes (terrestrial) | Arable land; Forestry plantations; Highly improved re-seeded landscapes; Perennial crops, orchards and groves | 35% |
Land use
| Land-use | Extent (% of site) |
|---|---|
| forestry | 30% |
| agriculture | 50% |
| nature conservation and research | 10% |
