Phase 2 Lowland Peatland Survey of Wales: Species Datasets
This dataset was part of the Phase 2 Habitats surveys conducted across Wales. It consists of a detailed survey of plant communities in lowland peatland vegetation. The survey was conducted at Phase 2 (plant community) level of herbaceous mire habitats predominantly within the lowland environment of Wales. Key project outputs include site-based assessments of community type, distribution and ecology and evaluative accounts of vegetation and its condition. Strategic outputs include Area of Search/regional/all Wales synthesis and analysis of data to inform site selection, conservation and restoration. This part of the Phase 2 survey includes species datasets collected by Countryside Council for Wales and Natural Resources Wales in-house expert Phase 2 survey team. Peer-based quality assurance is carried out within the team and by CCW's Peatland Specialist. Regular meetings are held to ensure consistent community and species determination and survey protocol application.

Phase 2 vegetation mapping and collection of quadrat data on plant community composition. Additional information is collected on notable species, environmental factors, condition, management requirements and conservation evaluation. See 'Manual for lowland peatland survey, P. Jones et al., 2007 (in prep.) for more information. Written site accounts are available for each surveyed site. These greatly assist in interpreting the raw data in each case. Characterise and evaluate the vegetation cover of lowland peatlands in Wales based upon a programme of plant (sub-) community level sampling and mapping. All Wales, underpinned by criteria to aid site selection. Surveying is carried out between June and September starting in 2004 and due to finish in 2011.

Part of this dataset is sensitive and restricted. The sensitive data is as follows; 1) Plant species listed on the NRW Sensitive Species List. This may only be released at a scale 10km sq. 2) Personal data e.g. names and addresses, other personal details. This information will not be released without permission of those involved 3) Sensitive site data, e.g. information about a site prior to designation. 4) Data with a landowner interest e.g. if a landowner specifically objects to information about their property being released Part of this dataset is sensitive and restricted as it contains data exempt from general release under EIR. Sensitive data must be kept confidential; general release is not permitted due to risk of harm to the environment or third parties.
