1. - a feasibility study

2. EXISTING RED LISTS 31 lists/books from 19 countries/regions
Only selected habitats/plant communities

3. CRITERIA USED
Quantity Range/Extent, dispersal, stand size, biogeographic zone, rarity
Quality Species composition, sub-types, structure & function, rare species, mosaics
‘Prospects’ Threats, vulnerability, protection, restorability, sensitivity

4. Approach...
• EUNIS level 3 (terrestrial)/4 (marine)
• IUCN categories (CR, EN, VU, LC, ...) ‘Collapsed’ replaces ‘extinct’ used for species
• Compatible with IUCN global approach (Keith et al in press)
• Recomended time frame for trends is 50 years (500 years not realistic in Europe)

5. Terrestial level 3
D2.3 Transition mires and quaking bogs
D4.2 Basic mountain flushes and streamsides, with a rich arctic-montane flora
E5.5 Subalpine moist or wet tall-herb and fern stands
G1.6 Fagus woodland
Marine level 4
A1.11 Mussel and/or barnacle communities
A2.32 Polychaete/oligochaete-dominated upper estuarine mud shores
A2.71 Littoral Sabellaria reefs
A6.61 Communities of deep-sea corals

6. EOO Extent of occurrence
AOO Area of occurrence
Proposed criteria for Red List assessment of European habitat types
