Ecosystem types of Europe 2012 - Full map (marine and terrestrial habitats) - version 3 revision 1, Feb. 2019

The data set aims to contribute to a better biological characterization of marine and terrestrial ecosystems across Europe (EEA-39). As such it represents probabilities of EUNIS (EUropean Nature Information System) habitat presence at Level 2 for terrestrial habitats and corresponding Level 3 for marine habitats (including information on sea ice coverage).



The map combines spatially explicit data on marine bathymetry and sea-bed and land cover information with non-spatially referenced habitat information of the EUNIS classification. The objective of the data set produced by EEA and its Topic Centres ETC/BD and ETC/ULS is to improve the biological description of marine and land based ecosystem types and their spatial distribution across Europe.



Since it is partly based on non-spatial explicit mapping the spatial and thematic accuracy is not of same quality as delineated maps. For terrestrial habitats the geometric and thematic accuracy is estimated in the reliability map 2012 v3.1 as secondary product.



The work supports Target 2 Action 5 of the implementation of the EU Biodiversity Strategy to 2020, established to achieve the Aichi targets of the Convention of Biological Diversity (CBD). It further addresses the MAES process (Mapping and Assessing of Ecosystems and their Services). The MAES ecosystem typology differentiates three levels and with certain differences follows the EUNIS classification: whereas MAES level 2 the proposal corresponds to EUNIS level 1, MAES level 3 follows closely the EUNIS level 2. For terrestrial habitats a representation of MAES level 2 is contained in the reliability map as secondary product.

      Statement

      The data set is a composition of two independent but complementary data sets:



      a) marine part (elaborated by EEA and ETC/ULS) – Ecosystem Type Map 2012 v3.1 - Marine habitats

      b) terrestrial part (elaborated by EEA and ETC/BD) – Ecosystem Type Map 2012 v3.1 - Terrestrial habitats



      The two parts have been merged into a new data set by the “Mosaic To New Raster” tool.



      Information about the lineage of these two component datasets is provided within their corresponding metadata as well as on the ETC/BD Technical Paper 11/2018 "Ecosystem Type Map v3.1-Terrestrial and marine ecosystems" provided with the dataset (Ecosystem_mapping_v3_1.pdf).
