This dataset shows the broad habitats of Wales based on the Office for National Statistics (ONS) Broad Habitat Classification. It was created as part of the GIS for Area Statements (GISfAS) project to support land cover ecosystem accounting by providing information on current economic value and changes in land cover. GISfAS forms part of a wider suite of projects, including the State of Natural Resources Report (SoNaRR) and Spatial Analysis for Area Statements (SAfAS), which support the sustainable management of natural resources and ecosystem services in Wales.

Lineage

The map was created using remote sensing techniques combined with knowledge of previous field classifications. Only rare habitat types were subjected to systematic verification. As a result of the methodology used, confidence in habitat classification varies between habitat types. Due to project timescales, no assessment was made of the differing levels of accuracy and certainty when translating Phase 1 habitat classes to ONS Broad Habitat classes.
Additional Information

Data Limitations The Phase 1 habitat map of Wales is based on data which are ten years old This dataset was produced for NRW under contract by Environment Systems Ltd.
