Summary
The Phase 1 habitat classification and associated field survey
technique provides a relatively rapid system to record semi-natural
vegetation and other wildlife habitats. Each habitat type/feature
is defined by way of a brief description and is allocated a
specific name, an alpha-numeric code, and unique mapping colour.
The system has been widely used and continues to act as the
standard ‘phase 1’ technique for habitat survey across the
UK.
The main A4 Phase 1 Handbook is supported by an
A5 Phase I
Field Manual. Both were published first in 1990 by the Nature
Conservancy Council (NCC): later versions, with limited additions,
have been produced by JNCC. The PDF is a typed copy of the 2003
edition of the A4 Phase 1 Handbook.
