13 Land composition or co-occurrence of land use types, is a measure of spatial distribution of elements or components of a landscape. To quantify land composition we use the Landscape Mosaic (LM), model available in Guido's tool box (Vogt and Riitters 2017). A land mosaic is a tri-polar classification scheme that represents the land type dominance, the interface zone and the mix zone within a defined area. The classification uses the threshold values of 10%, 60%, and 100% along each axis to partition the tri-polar space into 19 classes. These threshold values are indicative for the presence (10%), dominance (60%), or uniqueness (100%) of each land cover type. The model measures land type heterogeneity and allows to consider trade‐offs occurring between intra-land type changes (i.e., modification of the area of a given land type) and inter land types changes (i.e., direction of change). It provides a measure of the relative contributions of the three key land types in percentage within a given neighborhood/observation area.

15 Land composition is used to assess the co-occurrence of land types within each Functional Urban Area. It represents the arrangements of ecosystem types within and around cities.

Agricultural areas include all agricultural land types identified in Corine, natural areas include all natural and semi-natural land types, developed areas include all artificial land types including urban green. Parameters applied for the analysis of 700 EU Functional Urban Areas.
