in terms of successions and replacements. The database system ‘SYNBIOSYS’ which comprises two distinct levels, namely the plant communities and landscape, is supposed to be applied when analysing the landscape character (SCHAMINÉE 1999). Map 3: Dutch landscape types (source: LNV 1992). 4 Brief comparative review at the European level Two international examples for landscape classification and mapping can serve as references for analysing the methodological approaches with regard to vegetation data: the World Map of Presentday Landscapes by MILANOVA et al. (1993) and a European landscape typology developed by MEEUS (1993). The Physical Geographical Map of Europe (VERVLOET 2000) and LANMAP 1 (Mücher et al. 2003) serves as further references for examining the possible future application of European natural vegetation data. For the map of Meeus (1993) a European regional section located in the centralwestern part of the continent has been selected for presenting a brief visual comparison with the main area units of the aggregated version of the European Natural Vegetation Map at the scale of 1 : 10 million. 94

Map 4: Map of Present-day Landscapes (MILANOVA 1993) – excerpt. 4.1 World Map of Present-day Landscapes (PDLs) The UNEP world map has a scale of 1:15 million and presents landscapes (PDLs) as specific units of land surface characterised by a structurally organised combination of natural and economic components. The belts identified by the first map are characterised by a range of natural processes, zonal patterns and sets of natural landscapes, with more emphasis on geographical aspects rather than climatic. 95
