Title

2009 Northern Ireland Environment Agency (NIEA) Northern Ireland distribution of Spartina anglica

Abstract

One of the greatest problems facing conservation in the British Isles is the spread and establishment of introduced species. Common cord-grass (Spartina anglica) is a highly invasive species which causes extensive ecological damage to intertidal habitats particularly mudflats and saltmarsh. The current survey represents the second of a three phase survey to establish the extent of cord-grass invasion and colonization throughout Northern Ireland.

Part of MSFD NNS baseline data collation project (Jan 2016). Subset of a dataset as we were only pulling out records for a selection of INNS. Contains records for Spartina anglica. If any sensitive species or biotope records are present within this dataset, they will have been removed. If you wish to request access to sensitive species records, please contact the metadata contact. The UK Sensitive Species list has been agreed by UK statutory bodies and relevant experts. It can be viewed here https://docs.nbnatlas.org/sensitive-species-list/. Please note sensitive species lists can vary across the UK. See Robb, G.N., McDermott, T. and Reid, N. (2009) Current distribution of Spartina anglica in Northern Ireland.
