Priority River Habitat - Headwater Areas

One of the two datasets that make up the Priority River Habitat Map. Under the UK BAP definition all headwaters potentially form part of the priority habitat definition. The headwater resource can be a significant  proportion of the river habitat network, accounting for the large majority of total river length. The headwater areas selected as most natural by land cover comprise a relatively large proportion of the upland headwater resource but a very small proportion of the lowland resource. The headwater analysis is the least certain component of the naturalness analysis – for example, highly natural headwater streams running through very small catchment areas, often wooded, would not be detectable by the analysis that has been undertaken. Equally, land cover is a crude measure of naturalness and various types of impact on river habitat are not well correlated with it (e.g. abstraction pressure, point source pollution). These issues can only be addressed through local interpretation of the final priority habitat map. Attribution statement: © Natural England copyright.

2021 Oyster Ark Survey of Native Oysters on Mull and Skye

The Oyster Ark Project (Nature Restoration fund project RES921142) was developed to attempt to fill in some of the gaps and to add to our knowledge of the extant populations of native oysters around Scotland. The project was carried out by volunteers from Seasearch and by a team from Heriot-Watt University and was funded by the Biodiversity Challenge Fund. The project aimed to seek out remnant wild Scottish native oyster (Ostrea edulis) habitats, assess their population sizes, disease status, presence of Invasive Non-Native Species (INNS). Surveys were carried out on foot in intertidal areas, or using snorkellers and divers for subtidal areas. Abundance counts of areas were established by surveyors.

Micoplastics data from sediment cores collected in the North Sea between 2023 and 2024 and the Celtic Sea during 2023

These sample data are from sediment cores collected in the North Sea and the 
Celtic Seas on three surveys undertaken between 2023 and 2024 using a NIOZ 
(Royal Netherlands Institute for Sea Research design) Box Corer conducted by 
the Research Vessel (RV) Cefas Endeavour. Sub cores were analysed for and data

Metabarcoding of pond environmental DNA samples towards development of DNA-based metrics for the assessment of pond condition

Metabarcoding of pond environmental DNA samples towards development of 
DNA-based metrics for the assessment of pond condition.

This project processed and sequenced water samples (c. 1 L volume) from 61 
freshwater ponds of varying habitat condition surveyed by Natural England as 
part of their England Ecosystem Survey. Additional, equivalent samples (48) 
from high quality freshwater pond habitats were provided by the Freshwater 
Habitats Trust. All samples were collected between May and September 2023, and 
sequenced in March 2024.

All pond water samples were processed to extract environmental DNA (eDNA), 
which was sequenced using five metabarcoding markers. This produced species 
lists for each sampled pond for five taxonomic groups: vertebrates, 
invertebrates, plants and fungi, microbial eukaryotes, and prokaryotes 
(bacteria and archaea). 

Alongside water samples, physicochemical and plant observation data were 
collected for all ponds surveyed, as presented in separate Natural 
England-commissioned reports. The analysis of pond sequence data alongside 
these data is subject to ongoing metric development.

Trait expression of marine benthic assemblages across the UK shelf modelled for the years 1976 to 2020

The data consist of two trait expression datasets described in Bolam, Downie 
and Cooper (2023). Used in conjunction with a number of raster data layers 
(see paper for details) and the accompanying R script (
`https://github.com/CefasRepRes/OneBenthicTraitsMapping`_), these data can be 
used to generate all paper outputs (i.e. Figures and Tables).

The two traits datasets provide trait expression-by-station for combinations 
of 'Response' and 'Effect' trait categories. Response traits (i.e., 
Morphology, Egg Development, Living Habit, Sediment Position, Mobility) relate 
to a taxon’s ability to respond (i.e., withstand/tolerate/recover) to a 
natural or anthropogenic change in the environment, whilst Effects traits 
(i.e. Body Size, Longevity, Larval Development, Feeding Mode, Bioturbation 
Mode) reflect differences in functional potential. Trait expression is 
calculated for each sample by multiplying taxon abundances (4th root 
transformed) by their corresponding fuzzy coded trait modalities, with values 
then summed across each trait modality.

Both the macrofaunal abundance and traits data used in this study and from 
where this published dataset derives, come from the OneBenthic portal (
`https://rconnect.cefas.co.uk/onebenthic_portal/`_). Macrofauna data pertain 
to ~33 thousand 0.1m2 grab and core samples processed over a 1mm sieve and 
collected between 1976 and 2020. Traits data held in OneBenthic originate from 
Clare et al. (2022), but have been augmented to account for some additional 
taxa.

FGS WIG Woodland Grazing Management Plan

RDC Forest Plans

Forest Plans aim to deliver long-term environmental benefits through sustainable forest management and consists of a strategic plan describing the major forest operations over a 20 year period.  RDC Forest Plans were closed to new applications in 2012, but the dataset is still updated in terms of boundary changes to felling phases and LISS.

Support was given to help prepare a Forest Plan through the SRDP's Woodland Improvement Grant (WIG) for long-term forest planning. An approved Forest Plan gave a 10 year approval for felling, thinning and provided the means of accessing grants for restructuring felling and regeneration and other grant support through Rural Development Contracts - Rural Priorities.

This dataset stores information on the Forest Plan boundary, the 1st and 2nd clearfell phases (1-5 years and 6-10 years) and areas managed under Low Impact Silvicultural Systems (LISS).

Basic attribute information is captured during the digitising process.  This is subsequently joined to more comprehensive information which is entered in an Excel spreadsheet by Conservancy staff.

FGS Long Term Forest Plan

This option aims to provide support for the creation of a long-term forest plan that sets out the management objectives for private woodlands.  This is for the long-term management of woodlands over 10 to 20 years and is aimed at (but not limited to) woodlands of 100 hectares or more in size.

Support is given to help prepare a Forest Plan through the SRDP's Woodland Improvement Grant (WIG) for long-term forest planning. An approved Forest Plan will give a 10 year approval for felling, thinning and will provide the means of accessing grants for restructuring and regeneration and other grant support through the Forestry Grant Scheme.

This dataset stores information on the Forest Plan boundary, the 1st and 2nd clearfell phases (1-5 years and 6-10 years) and areas managed under Low Impact Silvicultural Systems (LISS).

National Kidney Cancer Audit State of the Nation Report 2025

The National Kidney Cancer Audit (NKCA) aims to evaluate the patterns of care and outcomes for people with kidney cancer in England and Wales, using routinely collected data and to support services to improve their care quality.

This second State of the Nation report aims to help NHS organisations to benchmark their kidney cancer care against measurable standards, to identify unwarranted variation in measures of processes and outcomes, and to describe national levels and patterns of these measures in England and Wales.

This report includes people diagnosed with kidney cancer between January 2018 to December 2022 in England, and January 2022 to December 2023 in Wales. It reports on eight performance indicators for England and four for Wales outlined in the NKCA Quality Improvement Plan 2024. The report also describes the national picture and variation between NHS trusts in England/health boards in Wales.

Cycle Lane

Also named: CycleLane
A linear feature that describes a cycle lane or cycle track and it's relationship to the road or path network.

The Cycle Lane Feature Type represents designated cycling infrastructure, not cycle routes. Features are only captured where a section of road or path is designated for cyclists, either segregated by a physical feature, identified by painted or other signage, or identified by a different colour of tarmac or surface type. Please note that routes that are part of the National Cycling Network are not captured as Cycle Lane features unless designated infrastructure is present that meets this criteria.
