EUNIS habitats classification

A common reporting language on habitat types at European level developed by the EEA European Topic Centre on Nature Protection and Biodiversity. The EUNIS habitats classification builds upon previous initiatives (Corine-biotopes followed by the palearctic habitats classification), but introduces agreed-upon criteria for the identification of each habitat unit and provides a correspondence with other classification-types (the two above-mentioned, Corine land-cover typology, habitats directive Annex I, Nordic classification system, and potentially other national systems).
