Meadow and pasture inventory
Description
The map layer The meadow and pasture inventory contains areas for all land visited during the inventory up to and including 2011.
Sweden’s meadows and pastures have been inventoried. This means that 300000 hectares of land were examined between 2002 and 2004. This is to see where the land is located and what special natural values and cultural remains are there, such as special plants or old buildings.
The inventory showed that there are 270000 hectares of valuable land in Sweden. 7000 hectares of them are meadows and 229000 are pastures. The rest needs to be restored in order to preserve the quality of them.
Continued inventory under the Rural Development Programme (2007-2013).
The inventory is used to make evaluations and follow-up of environmental compensations and other measures for the natural and cultural environment. The data can be used as a basis for counselling, community planning and research.
The results of the inventory can be found in the TUVA database. It is also available on the Swedish Board of Agriculture’s website. From the inventory there are two map layers. One contains all the land visited during the inventory (meadow and pasture objects). The second layer (nature type surfaces) contains the chips that have been fully inventoried. In this layer, the inventories are degraded so that each habitat has its own surface area, as defined by Natura 2000.
