UK Habitats Directive Report (2013) with Habitat and Species Conservation Status

A multi-tab spreadsheet dataset contains supporting information used for the 3rd UK Habitats Directive report submitted in 2013. The data, provided by UK Country Agencies and the Joint Nature Conservation Committee, details the conservation status of habitats and species listed under the directive. It includes separate tabs for habitat details, species details, pressures, threats, conservation measures, and code lookups.

Use Cases

• Assess conservation status trends for UK habitats based on the reported parameters.
• Analyze pressures and threats affecting specific species based on the dedicated spreadsheet tab.
• Review conservation measures implemented for habitats and species as documented in the report.
• Decode reported status and condition data using the provided look-up tables for column codes.

Strengths

• Data is structured for a formal EU directive report, suggesting a standardized format.
• Includes separate audit trail tabs for habitat and species details, which may provide transparency.
• Covers all UK habitats and species reported on under the 2013 assessment cycle.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect temporal bias inherent to the 2013 reporting cycle.
