EUNIS Littoral biogenic habitat types (salt marshes), distribution based on vegetation plot data - version 1, Nov. 2021

This metadata corresponds to the EUNIS Littoral biogenic habitat types (salt marshes), distribution based on vegetation plot data dataset. Littoral biogenic habitats (commonly known as salt marshes) are formed by animals such as worms and mussels or plants. The verified saltmarsh habitat samples used are derived from the Braun-Blanquet database (http://www.sci.muni.cz/botany/vegsci/braun_blanquet.php?lang=en) which is a centralised database of vegetation plots and comprises copies of national and regional databases using a unified taxonomic reference database. The geographic extent of the distribution data are all European countries except Armenia and Azerbaijan. The dataset is provided both in Geodatabase and Geopackage formats.本元数据对应基于植被样方数据的EUNIS滨海生物生境类型（盐沼）分布数据集。 滨海生物生境（俗称盐沼）由蠕虫、贻贝等动物或植物共同构建形成。 本数据集所采用的经验证盐沼生境样本，源自布隆-布朗克（Braun-Blanquet）数据库（http://www.sci.muni.cz/botany/vegsci/braun_blanquet.php?lang=en）；该数据库为集中式植被样方数据库，整合了采用统一分类参考标准的国家级与区域级数据库副本。本次分布数据的地理覆盖范围涵盖除亚美尼亚与阿塞拜疆之外的所有欧洲国家。本数据集同时提供地理数据库（Geodatabase）与GeoPackage（Geopackage）两种格式。
