Abstract

The dataset comprises polygons representing habitat compartments covering part of Aberdeenshire Council area and the whole of Aberdeen City Council area. Integrated Habitat System classifications were used to create habitat polygons using GIS mapping. Each polygon contains an Integrated Habitat System code representing a particular habitat type derived from UK Biodiversity Action Plan Broad Habitat types and UK Biodiversity Action Plan Priority Habitat types.

Quality and validity

Lineage

The dataset was compiled from on the ground habitat survey in Aberdeenshire and Aberdeen City where habitat compartments were described using Integrated Habitat System classifications to create habitat polygons using GIS mapping. The dataset was edited in GIS at 1:10000 scale to eliminate any overlapping or spaces in the polygons.
