Landscape and habitat area data from the Glastir Monitoring and Evaluation Programme, Wales 2013-2016
This data set consists of measurements of areas of landscape features and associated attributes from sites across Wales, collected between 2013 and 2016. Data are presented as areas of Broad (or Priority) Habitats, with associated landscape attributes (such as plant species and land use), within a set of 300 x 1km squares across Wales, collected as part of the Glastir Monitoring and Evaluation Programme (GMEP).
The monitoring programme was set up by the Welsh Government in 2013 to monitor the effects of the Glastir agri-environment scheme on the environment and ran from 2013 to 2016. The field survey element was based on a stratified random sampling design of 300 x 1km square sites across Wales, and was managed by the UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology.

Provenance & quality
The data were recorded using electronic data capture devices in the summers of 2013-2016 by professional surveyors. Data were recorded from 300 x 1km squares sited across Wales, selected by random stratified sample. The survey was managed by the UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology. Standardised methodologies were applied throughout.
To ensure confidentiality of the data with respect to land owners and managers, the locations of 1km squares and survey sites were converted to the centres of the containing 10km Ordnance Survey grid squares.
