The status of Habitats Directive Annex I saltmarsh habitats, transition zones and Spartina species in England (NECR185)

This report provides an inventory and description of Annex I saltmarsh habitats and transitional vegetation in England and will help update future reporting on the conservation status of this habitat. The outcomes will also help us to understand the underpinning processes, which can be used to improve our chances of recreating these elements of saltmarshes as part of intertidal restoration schemes. It also provides an up-to-date assessment of Spartina alterniflora stands in the Solent Special Area of Conservation through review and field survey for 2012.
