Field manual for Phase 1 habitat survey - a technique for environmental audit.
(2005)
JNCC
This A5 Field Manual supports the main A4 Phase 1 Handbook. Both were published first in 1990 by the Nature Conservancy Council (NCC): later versions, with limited additions, have been produced by JNCC.
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 1 Field Manual (available in printed format and as
a PDF - see below). Both were published first in 1990 by the Nature
Conservancy Council (NCC): later versions, with limited additions,
have been produced by JNCC
