Metadata: NVC Survey of Saltmarsh and Other Habitats in The Wash European Marine Site
Abstract:
Field survey using the National Vegetation Classification (NVC) methodology (Rodwell, 2000) was used to record and map the vegetation of saltmarsh and other habitats along The Wash candidate Special Area of Conservation (cSAC) from July to October 2001 and July to August 2002. Saltmarshes were surveyed from the River Nene to Gibraltar Point including Lutton, Nene, Gedney, Holbeach Bombing Range, Decoy Outfall, Fosdyke and Fosdyke Wash, Scalp and Cots Marshes, Kirton Marsh, Freiston Low Marsh, Leverton and Toft Marsh. This report presents the survey results for these sites.

| Internal code | Internally assigned metadata identifier | 2069 |
| Title | The title is used to provide a brief and precise description of the dataset such as 'Date', 'Originating organisation/programme', 'Location' and 'Type of survey'. All acronyms and abbreviations should be reproduced in full. | NVC Survey of Saltmarsh and Other Habitats in The Wash European Marine Site |
| File Identifier | The File Identifier is a code, preferably a GUID, that is globally unique and remains with the same metadata record even if the record is edited or transferred between portals or tools. | 8c3358aabf79468381a781d52def23e8 |
| Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | NATENG00000F |
| Resource type | The resource type will likely be a dataset but could also be a series (collection of datasets with a common specification) or a service. | dataset |
| Start date | This describes the date the resource starts. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2001-07-01 |
| End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2002-08-31 |
| Spatial resolution | This describes the spatial resolution of the dataset or the spatial limitations of the service. | inapplicable |
| Frequency of updates | This describes the frequency with which the resource is modified or updated i.e. a monitoring programme that samples once per year has a frequency that is described as 'annually'. | notPlanned |

| Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | During autumn 2000 and summer 2001, saltmarsh and other habitats were surveyed at Cowhole, Morston, Blakeney, Stiffkey, Warham, Wells, Holkham, Burnham, Little Ramsey, The Nod, Scolt, Brancaster, Titchwell, Thornham and Holme (Ragged Marsh). Although there were potential limitations due to the time of the survey in 2000, with respect to distinguishing between sub-species, this aspect was partly verified in the 2001 survey season. In particular, the establishment of monitoring transects during 2002 ensured that vegetation communities, sub-communities and rare species were fully documented. In total, 1249 quadrats were recorded and used to construct floristic tables describing the vegetation communities. Target notes were also recorded for various parameters including management practice, drainage and evidence of erosion and or deposition. The survey results were used in conjunction with aerial photographs of the North Norfolk Coast in order to enhance the mapping output. The vegetation communities and sub-communities were mapped at 1:5000 scale in broad accordance with the colour coding used in the â??NVC Survey of Saltmarsh Habitat in the Severn Estuaryâ?? (Dargie, 1998a and 1998b). However, it was necessary to expand the range of colours in order to accommodate the large number of vegetation communities and sub-communities present. In addition to this, during 2002, 13 monitoring transects were established and sampled. |
