Third UK Habitats Directive report (2013) - Habitat details (Country level plus offshore)

This dataset comprises the Country specific source data used to compile the individual Habitats reports that formed a major part of the 3rd UK Habitats Directive Report for 2013. Every six years, all EU Member States are required (under Article 17 of the Directive) to report on the implementation of the EU Habitats Directive. The 3rd UK Habitats Directive Report was submitted to the European Commission in 2013.

The Report considered the conservation status of all terrestrial and marine habitats listed under Annex I of the Directive that were present within the UK during the reporting period (2007-2012). This included:
*69 terrestrial habitats within the UK Atlantic region;
*8 marine habitats within the UK Marine Atlantic region;

The report submitted by the UK was an amalgamation of data from each of the four UK Countries and the offshore environment (> 12 nautical miles from the coast).
This dataset presents the source data provided from the above five sources. It contains a range of parameters for each habitat as described in the UK Approach Document.

本数据集包含用于编制构成2013年第三版英国《栖息地指令》报告主要部分的各国特定源数据。根据指令第17条的规定，欧盟所有成员国每六年需提交关于实施欧盟《栖息地指令》的报告。2013年的第三版英国《栖息地指令》报告已于当年提交至欧洲委员会。报告审视了在报告期间（2007-2012年）存在于英国境内的、指令附录I中所列所有陆地和海洋栖息地的保护状况。具体包括：英国大西洋区域内的69种陆地栖息地；英国大西洋海洋区域内的8种海洋栖息地。英国提交的报告是由四个英国国家及沿海12海里以外的离岸环境的数据汇总而成。本数据集展示了上述五个来源提供的源数据。它包含了每个栖息地参数的描述，如英国方法文件中所述。详情请参阅：http://jncc.defra.gov.uk/pdf/A17_2013_UKApproach.pdf
