Rail Noise - All Metrics - England Round 4

Data indicating the level of noise according to the strategic noise mapping of rail sources across England.

- The day-evening-night level (Lden) is a noise indicator for overall annoyance based upon annual average A-weighted long-term sound over 24 hours with a 5 dB(A) penalty for evening noise (19:00-23:00) and a 10 dB(A) penalty for night-time noise (23:00-07:00).
- The 16-hour equivalent continuous level (LAeq,16h) is a noise indicator which describes the annual average steady noise level over the 16-hour daytime period (07:00 to 23:00) which contains the same sound energy as the actual fluctuating sound across the same period.
- The day level (Lday) is a daytime noise indicator based upon annual average A-weighted long-term sound over the daytime period (07:00-19:00) which contains the same sound energy as the actual fluctuating sound across the same period.
- The evening level (Leve) is an evening noise indicator based upon annual average A-weighted long-term sound over the evening period (19:00-23:00) which contains the same sound energy as the actual fluctuating sound across the same period.
- The night level (Lnight) is a night-time noise indicator based upon annual average A-weighted long-term sound over the night period (23:00-07:00) which contains the same sound energy as the actual fluctuating sound across the same period.
- The 6-hour equivalent continuous level (LAeq,6h) is a noise indicator which describes the annual average steady noise level over the 6-hour period (24:00 to 06:00) which contains the same sound energy as the actual fluctuating sound across the same period.
- The 18-hour equivalent continuous level (LAeq,18h) is a noise indicator which describes the annual average steady noise level over the 18-hour period (06:00 to 24:00) which contains the same sound energy as the actual fluctuating sound across the same period.

Noise levels are modelled on a 10m grid at a receptor height of 4m above ground, with a lower threshold cutoff of 35dB for the Lnight and LAeq,6h metrics, and 40dB for all other metrics. Data is available for all railway sources and also those defined as "major" under the Regulations.

This data is a product of the strategic noise mapping analysis undertaken in 2022 to meet the requirements of the Environmental Noise (England) Regulations 2006 (as amended).

Milk prices and composition of milk - monthly statistics

Most milk produced in the UK is bought by dairies (registered ‘milk purchasers’) for processing. Defra runs a monthly survey in England and Wales to collect information on the volume, value and protein content of milk purchased from farms. Similar surveys are run in Scotland and Northern Ireland. The UK average farm-gate milk price, protein content and butterfat content is then calculated.

Cost effective methods to measure extent and condition of habitats: Earth Observation Phase 3

Report contains data that can be used under Open Government Licence.

Phase 1 of the Making Earth observation work for conservation series of research projects created the Crick Framework, which demonstrated ways that remote sensing technologies could be used to report on extent and condition of Annex 1 and Priority Habitats. Phase 2 refined the framework to produce a user’s guide and undertook practical trials of some technologies to see if they met expectations. This Phase 3 project aims to extend the work, building on existing knowledge and maps, to describe and map selected upland areas in the UK, looking in particular at the phenotypic manifestations of the communities of interest in relation to Earth Observation (EO). This project will trial and develop the object orientated rule base approach, to transfer the ecological manifestation of the habitats in upland areas to further develop the rule base approach. It will provide a business case for national roll out for further consideration by policy makers in collaboration with other works that are ongoing for Countryside Survey. A strategic mapping pilot of upland areas will be undertaken to assess the transferability of object orientated rule base mapping to an area where the habitats and context in which they are found are very different. It will make full use of available ancillary data. The work will include as assessment of the economic and practical application, and give critical evaluation of the methods and uncertainties. This work would test the adaptability of the technique to incorporate enough ecological variation to support a more strategic rollout at a national or UK wide scale. The project will involve a Knowledge Exchange component to ensure that potential users are aware of the potential and engaged in development of this. It is directly relevant to priority actions stated in Biodiversity 2020 to put robust, reliable and more co-ordinated arrangements in place, to monitor changes in the state of biodiversity and also the flow of benefits and services it provides us, to ensure that we can assess the outcomes of this strategy.

Conserving farmland biodiversity and ecosystem services (Contribution to European project ‘Farmland’)

Report contains data that can be used under Open Government Licence.

Main report (pdf) contains data as does 4 of the appendices - pdf with data in tables.

The aim of this project is to examine how farmland heterogeneity – the way that different crops and non-cropped habitat are distributed within the landscape – impacts on biodiversity. Defra has international and domestic commitments to manage and restore biodiversity. Farmland biodiversity also contributes to agricultural production via ecosystem services such as crop pollination and biological control of crop pests, as well as having intrinsic cultural value. Responses to loss of farmland biodiversity typically involve taking land out of production (field margins or hedgerow planting for example). However, with increasing concern regarding food security, and a focus on sustainable intensification of farming, there are limits to how much land can be taken out of production. An alternative approach is to increase biodiversity value and ecosystem service provision on farmland, by increasing the diversity of crop types and management within the farmed landscape without compromising production. The project is co-funded by the Sustainable Agriculture evidence programme and extends a large scale European research project ‘FARMLAND’ into the UK, which will significantly increase the sample size at no cost to Defra and bring in additional expertise and analytical capability.

Innovation in mapping ecosystem services and understanding the ecosystems approach to the protected site

Report contains data that can be used under Open Government Licence.  Main report mostly narrative. 3 technical reports contain data.

This project is collaboration with Biodiversity and Ecosystem Service Sustainability (BESS) Programme to tap into the expertise and data already collected by BESS to answer several evidence needs for policy:
1. Improving our ability to map ecosystem services at different geographical scales. This work will build on work initiated by the BESS projects to record, build on and share good practice between groups developing spatially explicit maps of ecosystem services. It will also identify possible short and longer term options to address data, modelling and presentation issues to allow this approach to be robustly applied in new circumstances and new areas. This will be closely linked to customer needs with a view to informing prioritisation of action and resource targeting at the local and national level.
2. Provide evidence to assist the Natural Capital Committee, Defra and the Agencies, by exploring the contribution that Natura 2000 sites make to ecological resilience and the provision of ecosystem services, with a view to exploring the options for applying the ecosystem approach to mitigation of development impacts to reduce regulatory costs and increase ecological benefits. .

Ecosystems Interactions - Scaling issues

Report contains data that can be used under Open Government Licence.

The project seeks to define key interactions between ecological systems which need to be taken into account for decision making and will consider the importance of scale. The work  specifically focuses on interactions between land management and water quality (as the focus of the Loweswater work) but will also explore the data more fully to look at other key services delivered by landscapes including the delivery of cultural services (see e.g. Smart et al 2010, Norton et al 2011). The project builds on work already carried out under the CS Integrated Assessment investigating water quality impacts and ecosystem service trade-offs under different water quality scenarios. Work draws on the RELU study at Loweswater (and work with catchment stakeholders including Natural England, Environment Agency, National Trust and the Lake District National Park) to understand key interactions between institutional frameworks and impacts on policy and delivery.

The project complements other work being conducted in this area under such programmes as BESS and the VNN and works alongside Knowledge Exchange Networks on ecosystem (Defra) and catchment (NERC) studies to explore synergies and identify common approaches for successful integrated service delivery.

Ecosystem Interactions on the Somerset Levels

Report contains data that can be used under Open Government Licence.

Following publication of the UK National Ecosystem Assessment in June 2011, and Defra’s promotion of taking an ecosystems approach to managing natural capital, Defra identified a need for projects to examine, in real-world situations, how discrete areas provide the wide range of ecosystem services that are valued by society; how the different natural benefits can be delivered in ways that complement and add value to one another; and how systems of governance and policy delivery can best support these multiple benefits. This project is one of a suite of projects that were commissioned to fill this evidence need.
