The focus of the project in 2014 was on the recording of orchid populations in Republic of Ireland sites holding areas of the Annex I habitat 6210 Semi-natural dry grasslands and scrubland facies on calcareous substrates (Festuco-Brometalia) (* important orchid sites) as listed under the E.U. Habitats Directive. The data gathered was to be utilised to inform the next Article 17 assessment of the habitat. Twenty-five sites were selected for field surveys, the majority (20) deriving from Table 31 of The Irish Semi-natural Grasslands Survey [ISGS] 2007-2012. Irish Wildlife Manuals No. 78, which is a list of sites holding areas of the Annex I habitat 6210 considered by the authors of that report to be potentially the orchid-rich (priority) version of this habitat. The field surveys recorded the numbers and locations of orchid species occurring at the selected sites. Notes on the 2014 presence, extent and conservation status (impacts/pressures/threats) of habitat 6210 were recorded for each site surveyed and assessments of the conservation value, habitat condition, management and orchid-richness of each were undertaken. The project report details the work undertaken and the results of the assessments and an ArcMap shapefile holds details of the orchid species recorded at each of the surveyed sites. The purpose of the project is to record orchid populations in sites which hold areas of the Annex I habitat 6210 Semi-natural dry grasslands and scrubland facies on calcareous substrates (Festuco-Brometalia) (* important orchid sites) as listed under the E.U. Habitats Directive. The study covers 25 sites, 20 of which have been assessed by the Irish Semi-natural Grasslands Survey [ISGS] 2007-2012 (Irish Wildlife Manuals No. 78). There are data records in 5 counties, but many of them are concentrated in the south and east of Galway Bay.

A spot height may be expressed as AOD for "above ordnance datum". Usually mean sea level (MSL) is used for the datum. Malin Ordnance Datum Derivation of vertical height or depth (in metres) In the Republic of Ireland, OD for the Ordnance Survey of Ireland is Malin Ordnance Datum: the Mean Sea Level (MSL) at Portmoor Pier, Malin Head, County Donegal, between 1960 and 1969. 5731 EPSG Projection 5731 - Malin Head height Metres Derivation of Altitude OD based on Mean Sea Level, Malin Head 1960-1969 Esri shapefile v10+ National Parks and Wildlife Service Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage Ecological Data Manager +353-1-8882000 n/a National Parks and Wildlife Service 90 North King Street Dublin 7 D07 N7CV Ireland datadelivery@housing.gov.ie.ie https://www.npws.ie/sites/default/files/general/1402_ORCH14_01.zip zip Dataset Orchid Ireland Survey 2014 dataset published on NPWS website INSPIRE Data Specification on Provide Spatial Data Theme keyword INSPIRE Data Specifications v3.0 2011-06-15 The INSPIRE Directive or INSPIRE lays down a general framework for a Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI) for the purposes of European Community environmental policies and policies or activities which may have an impact on the environment. false COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) No 1089/2010 of 23 November 2010 implementing Directive 2007/2/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards interoperability of spatial data sets and services INSPIRE Interoperability Regulation 2010-12-08 Level of conformance with the COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) No 1089/2010 of 23 November 2010 implementing Directive 2007/2/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards interoperability of spatial data sets and services false Point shapefile showing distribution and basic characteristics of recorded taxa.
