WFD Cycle 2 morphology classification

This dataset is a subset of the "WFD Classification Status Cycle 2" dataset and contains summary data for the element morphology as used in the classification for Ecological status for the water framework directive (WFD). Morphology classifications are assessed and reported on a High, Supports Good or Does Not Support Good basis. Water bodies will only be classified as High if they have morphological conditions that reflect totally, or nearly totally undisturbed conditions. These conditions include continuity, width and depth, structure and substrate of rive bed and structure of the riparian zone for rivers; depth, quantity, structure and substrate of lake bed and structure of lake shore for lakes and depth, quantity structure and substrate of bed, structure of intertidal zone and wave exposure for estuaries and coasts and direction of dominant currents for coast only.

本数据集为“WFD 分类状态循环 2”数据集的子集，包含用于水框架指令（WFD）生态状态分类中元素形态的概要数据。形态分类基于高度、支持良好或无法支持良好的标准进行评估和报告。水体仅当其形态条件反映出完全或几乎完全未受干扰的状态时，才会被归类为高度。这些条件包括连续性、宽度与深度、河床结构与河岸带结构对于河流；湖泊的深度、数量、结构与河床结构以及湖岸结构；河口与海岸的深度、数量、结构与河床结构、潮间带结构以及波浪暴露度，以及海岸的主导水流方向。归属声明：© 环境署版权及/或数据库权利 2015。保留所有权利。” }
