CORINE Biotopes Manual - Habitat of the European Community: Data Specifications

CORINE Biotopes Manual - Habitat of the European Community: Data Specifications - Part 2. European Commission Office for Official Publications of the European Communities: EUR 12587/3 EN, Brussels, 1991.
abstract bibtex

A catalogue of the recognizable communities formed by the flora and fauna in response to the abiotic environment and to each other's influence is a prerequisite to any attempt at characterizing sites in terms of their importance for nature conservation, of inventorying such sites, of constituting coherent networks of protected sites, or of monitoring the evolution of such networks. The present typological list was developed within the context of the biotope project of the Commission of the European Communities CORINE information and mapping system, as a tool for the description of sites of importance for nature conservation in Europe. It is, however, hopefully susceptible to wider applications in the field of conservation biology. The primary objective of the list is to identify all major communities whose presence contributes to the conservation significance of a site. It has endeavoured to strike a balance between the need to emphasize the extremely interesting but rare natural or near-natural communities and the widespread semi-natural ones, which result from a long history of extensive use by man and domestic animals and constitute most of the habitat of the larger species of the wild fauna. Three considerations have mostly guided the construction of the list. Its structure and the arrangement of its units have been chosen so as to keep a permanent and flexible possibility to adapt the classification to needs for finer division of the classes proposed. The units have been defined, as far as possible, to be easily identified by persons in charge of data collecting, conservation decision-making or monitoring. A constant effort has been made to ensure compatibility with other existing schemes and, in particular, those that concern the whole European Community.
