This is a spatial dataset containing polygons representing areas of vegetation mapped within the Moor House National Nature Reserve in the northern Pennines, England. The map was created by staff of The Nature Conservancy in the 1960s.

GIS thematic layer of distribution and basic characteristics of Natura 2000 habitats in the Polish Tatra Nat. Park. Altogether, 32 Natura 2000 habitats have been identified.

The current distribution of Zostera spp. seagrass meadows along the Bulgarian Black Sea coast was studied. We used a combination of historical and recent observations of the habitat along the studied coastline. Remote sensing data (satellite images, sonar side-scans) was groundtruthed with georeferenced drop camera observations, scuba diving sampling and georeferenced scuba diving photo and video transects.

The European nature information system, EUNIS, brings together European data from several databases and organisations into three interlinked modules on sites, species and habitat types. The EUNIS information system is part of the European Biodiversity data centre (BDC) and it is a contribution to the knowledge base for implementing the EU and global biodiversity strategies and the 7th Environmental Action Programme. The EUNIS information system provides access to the publicly available data in the EUNIS database. The information includes: (Data on species, habitat types and designated sites compiled in the framework of Natura 2000 (EU Habitats and Birds Directives); the EUNIS habitat classification; data from material compiled by the European Topic Centre of Biological Diversity; Information on species, habitat types and designated sites mentioned in relevant international conventions and in the IUCN Red Lists; Specific data collected in the framework of the EEA's reporting activities, which also constitute a core set of data to be updated periodically, e.g. Eionet priority dataflow Nationally designated areas (CDDA)).

19 different types of habitats have been identified and mapped over the extent of the Samaria National Park area. The habitats identified, according to Natura 2000 classification, are: 1120-Posidonia beds (Posidonion oceanicae), 1240-Vegetated sea cliffs of the Mediterraneancoasts with endemic Limonium spp., 1310-Salicornia and other annuals colonising mud and sand, 2230-Malcolmietalia dune grasslands, 3170-*Mediterranean temporary ponds, 4090-Endemic oro-Mediterranean heaths with gorse, 5420-Sarcopoterium spinosum phryganas, 5430-Endemic phryganas of the Euphorbio-Verbascion, 6220-*Pseudo-steppe with grasses and annuals of the Thero-Brachypodietea, 8140-Eastern Mediterranean screes, 8210-Calcareous rocky slopes with chasmophytic vegetation, 8310-Caves not open to the public, 8320-Fields of lava and natural excavations, 9290-Cupressus forests (Acero-Cupression), 9320-Olea and Ceratonia forests, 9540-Mediterranean pine forests with endemic Mesogean pines, 92C0-Platanus orientalis and Liquidambar orientalis woods (Plantanion orientalis), 92D0-Southern riparian galleries and thickets (NerioTamaricetea and Securinegion tinctoriae) and 934A-Greek Quercus coccifera forests. Of these types, some are considered already in a critical state, while others are well established and thriving. Furthermore, the classification takes into account the habitats' spread pattern in order to assess their conservation priority level. Thus, three classes of priority have been established, with 5 out of 16 habitats' identified ranking in the highest class of importance.
