2. If we look at Europe from Space, we will notice a seemingly solid structure formed of vast, dark green woodland. It is an area where forests do not decrease but on the contrary have increased since the XVIII century. At first glance, the forests of Europe seem to be similar, however, with a closer look the local and regional differences of the most complex ecosystems appear. For most of Europe, forest vegetation is the result of natural succession. But most of forests in today's landscape is the result of human activities. Lots of forests were destroyed and burned down for forming farmlands. Fortunately, a number of organizations were created to protect forests (for example Natura 2000) If we look at Europe from Space, we will notice a seemingly solid structure formed of vast, dark green woodland.
