Pastures are covering almost 13.5 % of total floodplain area for all nine countries together. In Poland, pastures cover around one third of floodplains, making it the most present land use category in the floodplains for this country and with pastures equally distributed over Oder and Vistula catchments.

Forests cover around 9 %, where Croatia has the highest floodplain coverage with forests (nearly 30 %). Italy and Hungary only reach around 4 % of forest and all other countries in this exercise are close to the average of 10 % forest coverage.

Inland wetlands in floodplains reach in total about 4 % of the floodplain area, where Romania (with around 15%) reaches the highest cover for this land use category. Artificial areas, being mostly urban areas, cover around 6% of the assessed floodplains 6 % with large differences in between countries: from 25% in Austria and 14% in the Czech Republic to roughly 4% in Hungary and only 2% in Croatia.
