Littoral biogenic habitats (commonly known as salt marshes) are formed by animals such as worms and mussels or plants. The verified saltmarsh habitat samples used are derived from the Braun-Blanquet database (http://www.sci.muni.cz/botany/vegsci/braun_blanquet.php?lang=en) which is a centralised database of vegetation plots and comprises copies of national and regional databases using a unified taxonomic reference database. The geographic extent of the distribution data are all European countries except Armenia and Azerbaijan. The dataset is provided both in Geodatabase and Geopackage formats.

The maintenance of these databases is in principle in the hands of the custodians. However, before uploading datasets into the Braun-Blanquet database a quality check is performed by WENR and Masaryk University. If possible, detected errors are corrected and reported back to the data provider. Attributes added to the distribution data are: YEAR (year of recording) and PRECISION (precision in meters, indicating how precise the location is indicated). More information on the generation of the spatial files is provided in the documents available for download together with the dataset.
