This title provides information on this standardised system for surveying classifying & mapping wildlife habitats including urban areas. This item is due to return to print in May 2010. There are minor amendments but it is not a revised edition. JNCC have informed us that the new edition brings customers fully up-to-date with the Phase 1 technique & associated materials but no changes have been made to the classification itself including the alpha-numeric coding scheme habitat descriptions & colour mapping scheme. Appendix 8 of the handbook has been superseded by an enhanced & substantially expanded online product. Details of the correspondences between Phase 1 types & other mainstream classification systems are contained in an interactive spreadsheet which can be downloaded from website. Also available from this web page is an electronic Phase 1 colour palette style file that can be applied to Arc GIS shapefiles.
