From the analysis of the map it can be easily concluded that the centre of the territory<br />
was the region with the highest occurrence of changes in the period 2000-<strong>2006</strong>. This is<br />
related essentially to the well-known dynamic nature of the Portuguese <strong>for</strong>ests, which<br />
constitute the main land cover type in that region. In order to further understand the<br />
LULC dynamics in <strong>Continental</strong> <strong>Portugal</strong> between 2000 and <strong>2006</strong> it is important to<br />
examine the areas that were gained and lost per class in that period (Table 9), as well as<br />
the change matrix (Table 10).<br />
