Some of the reasons for developing the wetland inventory are:
1. WFD/WEWS requirements
- regulatory use – risk screening for licensing and planning
- characterisation and classification for WFD (morphology – surface waters, GWDTE)
2. Scottish Biodiversity Strategy (SBS) – knowledge of location and status of wetlands to help determine targets for restoration and management
3. IPCC GHG inventory – knowledge of wetlands and management required, particularly peatlands which are important for carbon storage, sequestration and other GHG emissions |

<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>This data set has been developed by assimilating spatial data from different sources (i.e. SNH, RSPB, SWT, FCS and several councils). The whole country has not yet been surveyed, as a result the data set only displays known wetlands. The wetland inventory database comprises a number of fields that include the main WFD95 wetland type, the original habitat survey information and whether the wetland polygon is within a statutory designated site. The wetland typology (WFD95) is used as the main identifying field for each polygon in the inventory database. </SPAN></P><P><SPAN>In addition to the ground surveyed data for the national wetland inventory dataset, wetlands in Dumfries and Galloway were mapped using aerial photographs to identify wetland vegetation types. Due to the difference in methods applied and the categories identified, this dataset has been kept separate to the wetland inventory but can be viewed in sync with the national dataset.</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>Details of the dataset can be found here - </SPAN><A href="https://www.sniffer.org.uk:443/wfd95-a-functional-wetland-typology-for-scotland" STYLE="text-decoration:underline;"><SPAN>https://www.sniffer.org.uk/wfd95-a-functional-wetland-typology-for-scotland</SPAN></A></P></DIV></DIV></DIV> |
