See all EU institutions and bodiesFor the assessment on state and trends of biodiversity from an ecosystem perspective, information on the association of species and habitat types to ecosystems is required. Two databases addressing ecological groups based on best available expert knowledge are available for habitats types and species of the Birds and the Habitats Directives

Richness index of forest - related species and habitats
This dataset refers to the Richness index of Species and Habitats of Conservation Concern indicator. The values for this indicator, present in this dataset, ranges between 0 and 1. The values close to 1 mean high presence of habitats and species related to forest, whereas the lower richness are closer to 0.
Combined effects of pressures on marine species and habitats in ...
This data presents the potential combined effects of human activities and pressures on marine species and habitats estimated using the method for assessment of cumulative effects, for the entire suite of pressures and a selected set of marine species groups and habitats by an index. The raster dataset consists of a division of the Europe's seas in 10km and 100 km grid cells, which values represents the combined effects index values for pressures caused by human activities. The relative values indicate areas where the pressures potentially affect the marine ecosystem.
Conservation status of habitat types and species: datasets from Article ...
All Member States are requested by the Habitats Directive (92/43/EEC) to monitor habitat types and species listed in its annexes and send a report every 6 years following an agreed format. The assessment of conservation status is based on information about the status and trends of species populations and of habitats at the level of the biogeographical or marine region.
The spatial dataset contains habitat and species distribution data (10km grid cells) as reported by Member States.
The tabular dataset this includes information on habitat areas, population sizes, trends, pressures and threats, and conservation status at the national biogeographical level and on conservation status and trends in conservation status at the EU biogeographical level.
This metadata refers to:
1) the public dataset, without sensitive species,
2) the full dataset, which includes data on sensitive species. This dataset is with restricted access only to be used internally by EEA.
