The same type of analysis can be done for the second and third levels of the CLC
nomenclature (Table 15 and Table 16, respectively). From the analysis of Table 15 it can
be concluded that the above-mentioned dominance of class 3 in 2006 is mainly due to
Forests (31) and Scrub and/or herbaceous vegetation associations (32). In Agricultural
areas, the most representative class in 2006 is Heterogeneous agricultural areas (24). As
for Artificial surfaces, most of them are constituted by Urban fabric (class 11). These
patterns can also be observed for the areas present in the CLC00_PT map.
