Broad habitats are a spatial datasets derived from Phase 1 Terrestrial habitat and species surveys conducted across Wales. Board habitats classifies / defines habitats as ecologically integrated units at a landscape scale, rather than seeing habitats as simply distinct types of vegetation. These broad habitats were classified in responsible to the convention on Biological Diversity. In Wales there are 36 broad habitats and the terrestrial habitats are as follows: Broad leaved and yes, planted coniferous woodland, native pine woodland, lowland wood pastures and parkland, boundary features, arable, improved grassland, unimproved neutral grassland, acid grassland, calcareous grassland, lowland heathland, grazing marsh, fens carr marsh swamp and reed bed, lowland raised bog, standing open water, rivers and streams, canals, montane (alpine and subalpine types) upland heathland and blanket bog.

This dataset is derived from the phase 1 terrestrial habitat surveys. With Board Classifications of habitats, two main criteria were used across the UK, these being; - a workable number of habitat types to ensure the process remain feasible - simplicity - the definitions should be easily understood, unambiguous and recognisable by a broad range of people. These broad habitats were later broken down into Section 7 Habitats of Principal Importance (see metadata 122418)
