A habitat is characterized by a relative uniformity of the physical environment and fairly close interaction of all the biological species involved.\n(3) “habitat type (or biotope type)” means an abstract type classified to describe habitats or biotopes that are common in some characteristics on a certain level of detail. Commonly used classification criteria may refer to vegetation structure (as woodland, pastures, heathland) or to abiotic features such as running waters, limestone rocks or sand dunes, but also to relevant phases or stages of the life-cycle of a certain species or ecological guild, like wintering areas, nesting areas or wandering corridors etc.\n(4) “distribution (of habitat types)” means a collection of spatial objects where the habitat type occurs, giving information on the occurrence of one specific habitat type in time or space across analytical units. It is usually depicted or modelled based on other spatial objects used as analytical units, for instance across grid-cells (very frequently), bio-geographical regions, nature conservation sites or administrative units.\n(5) “habitat feature” means a habitat in terms of its exact location, size (area or volume) and biological information (e.g. occurring habitat types, structural traits, lists of species, vegetation types).\n(6) “species” means a taxonomic category ranking immediately below a genus and including closely-related and morphologically similar individuals which actually or potentially inbreed. In the context of the theme Habitats and Biotopes, “species” means all animal species, plant species or fungi species relevant to describe a habitat.\n(7) “vegetation” means the plants of an area considered in general or as communities, but not taxonomically. Vegetation can also be defined as the total plant cover in a particular area or on the Earth as a whole.\n(8) “vegetation type” means plants (or total mass of plant life) of a given area considered in general or as plant communities, but not taxonomically.\n17.2.\nSpatial object types\nThe following spatial object type is specified for the spatial data theme Habitats and Biotopes: Habitat.\n17.2.1.\nHabitat (Habitat)\nGeographical areas characterised by specific ecological conditions, processes, structure, and functions that physically support the organisms that live there.\nAttributes of the spatial object type Habitat\nAttribute\nDefinition\nType\nVoidability\ngeometry\nThe extent of the habitat based on natural boundaries.\nGM_Object\nhabitat\nThe identifier for a habitat class, defined and described in an international, national or local habitat classification scheme.\nHabitatTypeCoverType\nhabitatSpecies\nList of species which occur in or constitute a certain habitat at the time of mapping.\nHabitatSpeciesType\nvoidable\nhabitatVegetation\nList of vegetation types (according to a local vegetation classification scheme) which constitute a certain habitat.\nHabitatVegetationType\nvoidable\ninspireId\nExternal object identifier of the spatial object.\nIdentifier\n17.3.\nData types\n17.3.1.\nHabitat Species Type (HabitatSpeciesType)\nSpecies which occur in a certain habitat at the time of mapping.\nAttributes of the data type HabitatSpeciesType\nAttribute\nDefinition\nType\nVoidability\nlocalSpeciesName\nScientific name plus author used in national nomenclature with its national taxonomic concept.\nLocalNameType\nvoidable\nreferenceSpeciesScheme\nReference list defining a nomenclatural and taxonomical standard to which all local species names and taxonomic concepts shall be mapped.\nReferenceSpeciesSchemeValue\nreferenceSpeciesId\nIdentifier of one of the reference lists given by the referenceSpeciesScheme.\nReferenceSpeciesCodeValue\n17.3.2.\nHabitat Type Cover Type (HabitatTypeCoverType)\nHabitat type according to an international, national or local habitat classifications scheme.\nAttributes of the data type HabitatTypeCoverType\nAttribute\nDefinition\nType\nVoidability\nareaCovered\nThe area covered by a certain habitat type within the provided geometry of the habitat spatial object.\nArea\nvoidable\nlengthCovered\nThe length covered by a certain habitat type within the provided geometry of a habitat spatial object.\nLength\nvoidable\nvolumeCovered\nThe volume of a certain habitat type within the provided geometry of a habitat spatial object.\nVolume\nvoidable\nreferenceHabitatTypeId\nHabitat type unique identifier (code) according to one Pan-European classification scheme.\nReferenceHabitatTypeCodeValue\nreferenceHabitatTypeScheme\nOne of the Pan-European classification schemes that are widely used in Europe.\nReferenceHabitatTypeSchemeValue\nlocalHabitatName\nHabitat type according to a local habitat classification scheme.\nLocalNameType\nvoidable\nreferenceHabitatTypeName\nName of a habitat type according to one Pan-European classification scheme.\nCharacterString\nvoidable\n17.3.3.\nHabitat Vegetation Type (HabitatVegetationType)\nVegetation type which occurs in a certain habitat.\nAttributes of the data type HabitatVegetationType\nAttribute\nDefinition\nType\nVoidability\nlocalVegetationName\nVegetation class (vegetation type) according to a local classification scheme.

They form where volcanic rocks and ash layers react with alkaline groundwater, and may also crystallize in post-depositional environments over periods ranging from thousands to millions of years in shallow marine basins.\nsedimentHosted\nsediment-hosted\nSediment-hosted deposits can be divided into two major subtypes. The first subtype is clastic-dominated lead-zinc ores, which are hosted in shale, sandstone, siltstone, or mixed clastic rocks, or occur as carbonate replacement, within a clastic-dominated sedimentary rock sequence. This subtype includes deposits that have been traditionally referred to as sedimentary exhalative (SEDEX) deposits. The second subtype of sediment-hosted Pb-Zn deposits is the Mississippi Valley-type that occurs in platform carbonate sequences, typically in passive-margin tectonic settings.\nchemicalSediment\nchemical sediment\nMineral deposits, mainly Fe or Mn, of sedimentary origin which originated as chemical precipitates from ancient ocean water. The process of accumulating these sedimentary deposits is controlled by the physicochemical properties inherent in iron and manganese.\nmarineVolcanicAssociation\nmarine volcanic association\nMineral deposits formed in a marine volcanic environment. Magmatic and hydrothermal fluids react with sea water for giving volcanogenic massive sulphides (VMS), which are at the origin stratiform deposits of Cu, Zn, Pb, Ag, Au.\nepithermal\nepithermal\nEpithermal deposits occur largely in volcano-plutonic arcs associated with subduction zones, with ages similar to those of volcanism. The deposits form at shallow depth, less than 1 km, in the temperature range of 50°-200 °C, are hosted mainly by volcanic rocks, and occur mainly as veins.\nveinBrecciaStockwork\nvein, breccia and stockwork\nIt is a systematic group with special occurrence of mineral deposits in a finite volume within a rock.\nVein: Fracture filling deposits which often have great lateral and/or depth extent but which are usually very narrow. Breccia: A fissure containing numerous wall-rock fragments, with mineral deposits in the interstices. Stockwork: a complex system of structurally controlled or randomly oriented veins.\nmanto\nmanto\nManto ore deposits are defined by a strict stratigraphic control on their distribution, generally within a porous formation within a structural trap site. The source of ore within manto deposits is considered to be interformational, from a sedimentary source within an adjacent sedimentary basin, or from ore fluids driven off from intrusive rocks.\nskarn\nskarn\nMineral deposits formed by replacement of limestone by ore and calc-silicate minerals, usually adjacent to a felsic or granitic intrusive body.\nporphyry\nporphyry\nPorphyry deposits are intrusion-related, large tonnage low grade mineral deposits with metal assemblages that may include all or some of copper, molybdenum, gold and silver. The genesis of these deposits is related to the emplacement of intermediate to felsic, hypabyssal, generally porphyritic intrusions that are commonly formed at convergent plate margins.\nultramaficOrMafic\nultramafic / mafic\nMineral deposits related to mafic and ultramafic plutonism and resulting from magmatic processes such as fractional crystallisation. The main types of deposits are chromite and platinoids in ophiolitic peridotites, titanum within anorthosites, nickel, copper and platinoïds in ultramafic complexes.\ncarbonatite\ncarbonatites\nCarbonatites are intrusive carbonate-mineral-rich igneous rocks, many of which contain distinctive abundances of apatite, magnetite, barite, and fluorite, that may contain economic or anomalous concentrations of rare earth elements, phosphorus, niobium, uranium, thorium, copper, iron, titanium, barium, fluorine, zirconium, and other rare or incompatible elements. They may also be sources of mica or vermiculite. Carbonatites may form central plugs within zoned alkalic intrusive complexes, or as dikes, sills, breccias, and veins.\npegmatite\npegmatite\nPegmatites tend to occur in the aureoles of granites in most cases, and are usually granitic in character, often closely matching the compositions of nearby granites. Pegmatites should thus represent exsolved granitic material which crystallises in the country rocks. However, an origin of pegmatite fluids by devolatilisation (dewatering) of metamorphic rocks is also envisaged. Pegmatites are coarse-grained rocks, mainly composed of quartz, feldspar and mica and are important because they often contain rare earth minerals and gemstones, such as aquamarine, tourmaline, topaz, fluorite, apatite and corundum, often along with tin and tungsten minerals, among others.\nmetamorphicHosted\nmetamorphic-hosted\nMineral deposits associated to deep metamorphism, more than ten km, in a context in which carbonic and aqueous fluids may give birth to gold veins.\ngemsOrSemipreciousStones\ngems and semi-precious stones\nA piece of mineral, which, in cut and polished form, is used to make jewelry or other adornments.\nindustrialRocks\nindustrial rocks\nIndustrial minerals are geological materials which are mined for their commercial value, which are not fuel minerals and are not sources of metallic minerals.
