EUNIS habitat classification 2012 (tabular) - version 1, 2019
The full list of EUNIS habitats 2012: codes, scientific names and revised descriptions. The habitat descriptions of the EUNIS classification 2007 were revised in 2012. The 2007 habitat types were not changed in the 2012 description revision which mostly replaced Palaearctic or UK Marine habitat classification codes used in habitat descriptions at levels 5 and below with their EUNIS classification equivalents. In 2019 the classification was further amended to include two new habitats of the revised Resolution 4 of Bern Convention as adopted at the 38th Standing Committee meeting, November 2018. The two habitats are G3.4G Pinus sylvestris forest on chalk in the steppe zone and X36 Depressions (pody) of the Steppe zone.

The EUNIS habitat revision is on-going. Revised groups version 2019 and 2021 are published in parallel to the EUNIS habitat classification 2012. A maximum of 20 characteristic species for each of the revised habitats is included in the Excel file. The full lists of characteristic species are available from the background reports.
Cross-walks between the EUNIS habitat classification version 2012 and other typologies (e.g. Habitats Directive Annex I habitat types or Corine land cover classes) are available from the Documents tab.
