Third UK Habitats Directive report (2013) -terrestrial habitat distribution data and sources

This multiple tab spreadsheet records the 10km squares for terrestrial habitats reported under the Habitats Directive (all UK habitats but not including Gibraltar). This information was used in the creation of the distribution data for terrestrial habitats listed under the Habitats Directive and available in shape file format. 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 - this includes information on the distribution of habitats. The 3rd UK Habitats Directive Report was submitted to the European Commission in 2013. The data for each Terrestrial Habitat is shown on the sheet "data 2013", with one row for each combination of habitat and 10km square. The habitats covered by this report are listed in the sheet "list of habitats". All of the data points have a source listed (see lineage).
