Resumo

In this research land cover is the observed (bio)physical cover on the earth's surface, as in european documentation of Land Cover Classification System (LCCS): Classification Concepts and User Manual. This analisys is based on Corine Land Cover 2000 methodology approved in 27 countries of EU. Corine Land Cover 2000 (CLC2000) is produced by the European Environment Agency (EEA) and its member countries in the European environment information and observation network (Eionet). It is based on the results of IMAGE2000, a satellite imaging programme undertaken jointly by the Joint Research Centre of the European Commission and the EEA. CLC2000 shows the land cover changes in ecosystems such as forests, lakes, pastures etc. and the impact of human activities (such as housing, food production, transport etc.) on land use. Forty-four land cover classes are used to map changes over time, all of which tell their own story of how decisions made across Prut basin in eastern part of Romania, have led to alternations in the landscape. The standard CLC nomenclature includes 44 land cover classes, grouped in a three-level hierarchy. Five main categories are "artificial surfaces", "agricultural areas", "forest and semi-natural areas", "wetlands" and "water bodies". The study area is very important because actually is a part of the eastern border of NATO and EU, with many geopolitically implications in state cooperation between Romania and Republic of Moldova sharing  natural resources of Prut basin. Further analysis of spatial relations between land cover and soil cover can overview changes in evolution of these geographic factors in the last 20 years, also the impact on the environment.
