Abstract

Location of Groundwater Dependent Terrestrial Ecosystems (GWDTEs) in England assessed by the Environment Agency for the second River Basin cycle of the EU Water Framework Directive. Based on SSSI outlines from Natural England, filtered to include only those sites with wetland vegetation communities listed in UK Technical Advisory Group paper 5 a-b (2004). Note that the dataset is not exhaustive, and other groundwater dependent wetlands also exist in England. Note this dataset has been extracted from the England and Wales dataset 'GWDTEs_2014' created on 16/10/2014 Attribution statement: © Environment Agency copyright and/or database right 2016.

Lineage

A subset of wetland SSSIs was created from the statutory sites databases by Natural England which contain wetland vegetation types listed in UK Technical Advisory Group paper 5a-b (2004). In addition some non-designated and non-statutory wetlands were added to the GWDTE dataset by Natural England, especially where these contain Annex 1 features.
