Abstract

All Member States are requested by the Habitats Directive (92/43/EEC) to monitor habitat types and species listed in its annexes and send a report every 6 years following an agreed format. The assessment of conservation status is based on information about the status and trends of species populations and of habitats at the level of the biogeographical or marine region. The spatial dataset contains habitat and species distribution data (10km grid cells) as reported by Member States for the 2013-2018 period. This metadata refers to the public dataset, without sensitive species.

The data sets are divided in two sets for species and two sets for habitat types.

Species:

ART17 species distribution MS (by Member State)

ART17 species distribution EU (European Union aggregate)

Habitats:

ART17 habitats distribution MS (by Member State)

ART17 habitats distribution EU (European Union aggregate)

Both MS datasets are aggregated by habitat/species code, country and biogeographical /marine region [CO_MS_RE]. Using this attribute [CO_MS_RE] the tabular conservation status, which is available in the table, per biogeographical/marine region of the Member State level (MS) can be joined directly to the spatial dataset.

Both EU datasets are aggregated by habitat/species code and biogeographical /marine region [CO_RE]. Using this attribute [CO_RE] the tabular conservation status, which is available in the table, of the biogeographical/marine region of the EU-28 level (EU) can be directly joined to the spatial dataset.

Further description of the Article 17 tabular and spatial dataset and a Article 17 web tool can be accessed with the download data.

Dataset

Statement

EU coverage datasets of habitat type distribution and species distribution were produced from the datasets reported by the EU Member States. Cells with habitat type or species information reported by more than one Member States, typically in the border regions, were treated following a defined set of rules.

The final EU dataset consists of the four following files:

Species:

ART17 species distribution MS

ART17 species distribution EU

Habitats:

ART17 habitats distribution MS

ART17 habitats distribution EU

The datasets are aggregated by code, country and region [CO_MS_RE]. Using this attribute the conservation status per Member State (MS) or the conservation status at EU-28 level (EU) can be joined to the spatial dataset.

The Member States reported the habitat and species distribution in form of 10x10km (1km, 50km) grid cells. From the single MS reports one European distribution dataset with 10x10km grid cells was produced. Additionally, the country name and region name were added to each cell. The entire data set was then aggregated based on Code-Country-Region.

The data was supplied under the Article 17 (Habitats Directive 92/43/EEC) reporting process. This metadata refers to the public dataset, that is, without sensitive species information.

A document is provided with the dataset which concerns the tabular data made available through the EEA website, to facilitate its join with the spatial datasets.
