Bio-geographical regions (BR)Bio-geographical regions (BR)

Short overview description

Definition Areas of relatively homogeneous ecological conditions with common characteristics. [Directive2007/2/EC]

Core content: • Natura 2000 Bio-geographical regions (9 regions)

– Marine regions (5 regions)• Support for other “Ecoregions”

Core legislation / convention: • Habitats Directive (EEC/92/43) / Natura 2000 network• Bern Convention / Emerald network

Classifications: • Natura 2000 and Emerald Bio-geographical regions • Environmental Stratification of Europe• Natural Vegetation Classification Value

Bio-geographical regions (BR)Bio-geographical regions (BR)

Main achievements

• One, simple BR application schema:– Because of limited number of Bio-geographical region datasets– No complex requirements– In order to strive for maximum harmonisation of datasets

• BR application schema not only supports the classification of bio-geographical regions as mandated by the European Habitats Directive, but also meets the requirements raised by INSPIRE stakeholders with regard to alternative and more precise sets of different types of ecological regions

• Currently the BR application schema includes three distinct European classification schemes, however through the mechanism of codelists the model can be extended to define and include other classifications as well.

could it be represented in MD?

Habitats and Biotopes (HB)Habitats and Biotopes (HB)

Short overview descriptionDefinition “Geographical areas characterised by specific ecological conditions, processes, structure, and (life support) functions that physically support the organisms that live there. Includes terrestrial and aquatic areas distinguished by geographical, abiotic and biotic features, whether entirely natural or seminatural.” [Directive2007/2/EC]

Content • Covered area • Classification• Object level metadata:

– Method for collecting data (source information)

1212

Habitats and Biotopes (HB)Habitats and Biotopes (HB)

Short overview description

Habitats and Biotopes are spatially delimited by specific ecological conditions, processes, structure and life support functions that physically support the organisms that live there.

Spatial representation : • Mapping as Features – precise delineation• Distribution as Coverages (Discrete) - tessellation of space (grid)Classifications: • Mandatory:

– Habitats Directive “habitat types” (recommended) or– EUNIS habitat classification

• Voidable: Local/national coding list– Including a possible mapping qualifier

1313

Habitats and Biotopes (HB)Habitats and Biotopes (HB)

Main achievements• Harmonisation was achieved by using one classification

system, which serves as “primus inter pares” to which all other classification systems can be mapped.

– Support of one or many “local” habitat type classifications and their mappings

• For the purpose of harmonization widely accepted code lists for habitat types and species names are mandatory and not voidable.

Species distribution (SD)Species distribution (SD)

Short overview descriptionDefinition Geographical distribution of occurrence of animal and plant species aggregated by grid, region, administrative unit or other analytical unit [Directive 2007/2/EC].

Core content • Coverage description

– Reference species name+classification• Distribution information description

– Residency status – Population size within the spatial unit– Data sensitivity

• Source information description– Methodologies

• Source• Aggregation

2222

Short overview descriptionAggregations of raw species observations to create general distributions. A possibility to refer to observations made possible by linking to Environmental Monitoring Facilities. DS terminology: Species = taxon

Spatial representation : • Current situation: feature collections• Appropriate conceptual approach: Coverages

– Aggregation or Distribution is modelled as (Discrete) coverages (but can be encoded as feature collections)

Classifications (reference ones): • EU-NOMEN (Recommended)• EUNIS• NATURA2000

Species distribution (SD)Species distribution (SD)

2323

Main achievements• Certain generic constructs allowing for different source

methods and counting methods• Species names and classifications (support of one or many

“local” names and their mappings to a reference one)• Support of wide range of spatial distribution types (points, grid

cells, multi-surface, curves)

Open issues

1. Theme specific issues:a) Lack of a consistent taxonomy across Europe.b) The relationships to other themesc) Link to observations (currently via Environmental Facilities)d) Data quality + Dataset level metadatae) Portrayal

2. Generic issues: a) Encoding of coverages. Multiple encodings (additional implementation

model).b) Codelists: Are all extendible by MS, do they need to be hierarchical, shall

they be external or specific to INSPIRE?
