Marine and Coastal Plants



Marine habitats are directly connected to the oceans. Marine habitats include those below spring high tide limit.
Coastal habitats are those above spring high tide limit occupying coastal features and characterised by their proximity to the sea, including coastal dunes and wooded coastal dunes, beaches and cliffs.

Wetland and Water Plants



Inland surface water habitats are non-coastal above-ground open fresh or brackish waterbodies (e.g. rivers, streams, lakes and pools, springs, canals, ponds, dams), including their littoral zones.
Wetlands are habitats which are saturated, with the water table at or above ground level for at least half of the year, e.g. bogs, marshes.

Grassland Plants



Non-coastal habitats which are dry or only seasonally wet with greater than 30% vegetation cover. The dominant vegetation is grasses and other non-woody vegetation (including moss-, lichen-, fern- and sedge-dominated communities). Includes successional weedy communities and managed grasslands such as recreation fields and lawns.

Subalpine, Alpine and Arctic Plants



Non-coastal habitats which are dry or only seasonally wet (with the water table at or above ground level for less than half of the year) with greater than 30% vegetation cover. The dominant vegetation is shrubs or dwarf shrubs. Includes regularly tilled shrub orchards, hedges (which may have occasional tall trees) and habitats characterised by the presence of permafrost. Also includes dwarf trees and scrub (under 50cm, such as occur in extreme alpine conditions).

Woodland and Forest Plants



Habitats where the dominant vegetation is trees, typically single-stemmed, and with a canopy cover of at least 10%. Includes lines of trees, coppices, and very recently clear-felled areas with pre-existing ground cover, not yet re-stocked and with no succession to weedy vegetation.
