Third UK Habitats Directive report (2013) - Habitat range boundary data

This dataset contains the range map data for all the Habitats included as part of the 3rd UK Habitats Directive Report submitted to the European Commission in 2013. The range maps are derived from the distribution maps. 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. Most of the data are at the 10km square resolution and based on a standardised EU wide grid rather than GB and Ireland Grids. (The transformation process is described in the lineage section). 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;
