Accounting for nature: assessing habitats in the UK countryside.

Year: 2000
Type: book
Abstract: Countryside Survey 2000 (CS2000) and the \nNorthern Ireland Countryside Survey 2000 \n(NICS2000) have been designed to provide \ndetailed information about the habitats and \nlandscape features that are important elements \nof our countryside. They can tell us about the \n‘stock’ of these resources, that is how much of \nthem we have and where they are to be found, \nand they can give us an insight into their \ncondition based on the variety and abundance \nof the plant species associated with them. Using \ninformation from previous surveys, we can also \ngain an understanding of how the stock and \ncondition of these habitats and landscape \nfeatures are changing over time. We can build up \na sort of balance sheet or an account of natural \nassets in the UK countryside. In this report we \nlook in particular at the period between the last \ntwo surveys, 1990 and 1998.
