2. In this presentation: Data and methods used for analysis
Results – aiming to aid the selection of habitats and/or species
Other supporting elements

3. Natura 2000 sites across the Continental, Pannonian, Steppic and Black Sea region (excl. Croatia)
29/11/2018

4. DATA & METHOD USED
Art 17 data of (Member States’ data) for CON & PAN
Excluding
species listed in Annex V only &
species and habitats occurring only in one MS
Bulgaria and Romania considered ‘unknown’ in CON & PAN
Occurrence in BLS and STE are indicated (‘ticked’) in the list of species/habitats of CON & PAN regions
No birds data in the analysis, but birds are part of the Seminars!
Clustering of habitat types and species
Largely similar way as for the Boreal, Atlantic and Alpine Seminar. For MAC/MED analysis MAES typology was followed
some habitat types & species may appear in 2 different habitat groups
29/11/2018

5. Proposed habitat groups
Mires & bogs
Heaths & scrubs
Grasslands
Forests
Rivers & lakes
Sparsely vegetated land
Coastal
Marine

6. How the results were calculated?
Calculations are made for CON and PAN separately
1. Criteria for prioritization:
Number of Member State where species/habitat types are present (criterion A)
Species and habitat types at unfavourable/unknown conservation status (criterion B)
Negative trend using certain parameters (criterion C)
2. Filtering species and habitat types:
- priority index calculated using A*(B + C) for each species and habitat type
29/11/2018

7. Test to use weighting (tested for the Pilot Boreal Seminar)
Tested for conclusions of unfavourable conservation status (criterion B) & trend information (criterion C)
No major changes in results, but potential constraints detected

8. RESULTS For you to decide what to do:
Top habitat types of the CON (20) and PAN (22) region (page 20 & 22)
Some habitat types share the same score
Ranking of 7 habitat groups for CON and 6 for PAN region
List of all species & habitats per habitat groups in CON and PAN region (See Appendix 1 & 2) & species/habitats occurring in Bulgaria/Romania (if Steppic/Black Sea Region is dealt separately)
29/11/2018

9. Ranking of habitat groups (page 19 & 21)
Continental region
Pannonian region
29/11/2018

10. Top 20 habitat types of the CON region
29/11/2018

11. 29/11/2018

12. Top 22 habitat types of the PAN region
29/11/2018

13. 29/11/2018

14. OTHER SUPPORTING ELEMENTS
Positive trend
Conservation status of habitat types and species per habitat group in CON and PAN (page 12-13)
you can compare conservation status between habitat groups and between biogeographical regions
Coverage of Natura 2000 network for the habitat types and species (in 2nd pre-scoping document?)
