comparing different regions in a green infrastructure and territorial cohesion context. performance reviews. Net Landscape Ecological Potential (NLEP) and green infrastructure Corine Land Cover data sets and effective mesh size • It is a status indicator which at European/ national scales helps frame the potential and provides quick monitoring of the state and its usefulness for assessing progress towards biodiversity targets and various scales, for example. • Provides information on the overall state of the green infrastructure and its changes. • It presents a measurement that can express ecosystems' integrity, and allows a good reading across Europe because of its robust calculation method, which can be aggregated to various reporting units. • The indicator is not built around ecological data that would exactly demonstrate which are the desired adaptive biological communities, their species composition, diversity and functional organisation comparable to that of a natural habitat in the region under discussion. • The indicator cannot show in which way the ecosystem integrity can be restored, nor does it have a solely ecological meaning. Mapping of ecological corridors and green infrastructure Corine Land Cover data sets and smoothen CORILIS data • Focus on the interruption of ecological corridors due to traffic infrastructure. Maps ecological corridors for migrating species, and in general to improve the coherence of the ecological network and hence green infrastructure. • It considers potential connectivity, and fragmentation between areas, and analyses the Natura 2000 network in relation to potential connectivity. • Takes into consideration the species requirements. • The method reveals a measure for landscape permeability from a species point of view and integrates both spatial and functional connectivities. • Is regarded as a pilot study, as the focus was led on forest-bound species. • This approach has to be combined with other ecological profiles leading to a multifunctional tool on various levels of scale. • The method was developed between 2004 and 2007, without finalising the complete multilevel and
