EUNIS Biotope Types of Austria 2018

As part of the project “Strategic Framework for Prioritisation for Ecosystem Restoration at National and Subnational Levels”, the map of Austrian biotope types (Peterseil 2013) has been updated and thematically expanded by including additional data sources. In the above-mentioned project, the map serves, among other things, as a spatial basis for the creation of a state map in which the degree of degradation of ecosystems or landscapes is shown.

Since the biotope mapping of the federal states is selective and not comprehensive, or biotope mapping data is not available for all federal states, it was necessary to integrate numerous other data bases. The EUNIS classification (Davies et al. 2004) is used. All input data was referenced to this effect. As far as possible, reference was made to EUNIS level 3.
