- Ratios (i) equal 1 mean that the area stayed constant during the period considered (ii) lower than 1: diminution of the area (iii) higher than 1: augmentation of the area concerned.
- These ratios were obtained dividing land areas (in 1000 Ha) of 2 years. We performed 2 ratios, [area in 1990]/[area in 1961] and [area in 2008]/[area in 2000], to have a constant total European countries area (which changed between 1990 and 2000).
