Description of files:


cost_database_NUTS0_NUTS2_2015_cropland.xlsx: contains data for different input cost positions for the land use category cropland. The data provided is given in
					      EUR ha-1 for crops in all EU NUTS2 regions for three LUMs and six different intensities. 



cost_database_NUTS0_NUTS2_2015_Forest.xlsx: contains data for different input cost positions for the land use category forest. The data provided is given in 
					     in EUR m-3 and in EUR ha-1 for all EU NUTS2 regions and the five LUM categories developed in the LUM geodatabase in the LAMASUS project.
					


cost_database_NUTS0_NUTS2_2015_grassland.xlsx: contains data for different input cost positions for the land use category grassland. The data provided is given in 
					        in EUR ha-1 for each MS and mapped to NUTS2 regions and the eight LUM categories for grassland developed in the LUM geodatabase in the LAMASUS project.

cost_database_NUTS0_NUTS2_2010_wetland.xlsx:   annualised cost of restoring drained agricultural peatland to wetland across all EU member states (205 USD (2000) ha-1 year-1). The costs are mapped to wetland LUMs 					       to indicate that in a region with wetland LUMs there might be a potential for rewetting arable/grassland to wetland.



Worksheets:
		  Cost_EUR_ha-1_year-1    - provides LUM-specific cost values per ha for the cost positions (see below) for all NUTS2 regions 
				            Each of the cells can either contain:
					    (1) a value (>0) in € (2015) per ha
					    (2) a 0, which corresponds to observed/estimated/simulated zero costs
					    (3) a #N/A, if not applicable for that LUM (e.g, fertilizer for forest)
					    (4) or an empty cell (space) for NUTS2 regions without observations  	
(only forest)     Cost_EUR_m-3            - provides LUM-specific cost values per m-3 roundwood for the cost positions (see below) for all NUTS2 regions
					    (see above for explanation of cell content)  

         	  LUM Legend               		  - provides an overview of classified land use management system defined in the LAMASUS project
	          Cost_Legend           		  - provides information on the cost positions in the database
		  Intensity_Legend (only cropland)        - provides information on different intensity classes linked to yields by the EPIC model	


Cost positions:
fertCost_N			Region- and LUM-specific (crop) nitrogen fertilizer cost (€ (2015) per ha)

fertCost_K			Region and LUM-specific (crop) potassium fertilizer cost (€ (2015) per ha)
machCost			Region and LUM-specific (crop) machinery cost (depreciation and variable cost such as lubricants, insurance) (€ (2015) per ha)
seedCost (only grassland)       Region and LUM-specific (crop) (re-)seed cost (€ (2015) per ha) 
plantProtCost (only cropland)   Region and LUM-specific (crop) plant protection costs (€ (2015) per ha)
labourCost			Region and LUM-specific (crop) labour cost (€ (2015) per ha)
fuelCost			Region-specific and LUM (crop) diesel cost (€ (2015) per ha)
totCost (only wetland)          Annualized total cost for rewetting and maintenance in USD per ha
