1995 Broads ESA breeding wader survey • Royal Society for the Protection of Birds • 841 records. • Description: Purpose: the Broads Environmentally Sensitive Area (ESA), established in 1987 and extended in 1992, covers over 360 km² of the river valley wetlands of East Norfolk including about 163km² of partly-drained grazing marsh and valley pasture. A major objective of the ESA scheme is to conserve the wildlife typical of the marshes by maintaining traditional livestock farming, through tiered management prescriptions. Four species of wader (snipe, redshank, lapwing and oystercatcher) are characteristic breeding birds of the Broadland grazing marshes. The first three species have declined generally in lowland Britain due to post-war agricultural intensification and drainage. Methods: a comprehensive survey of all suitable breeding wader habitat in the Broads ESA was carried out in April and May 1995, with at least one visit during this period to almost 140 sites, covering approximately 214 km². This included all grassland, and additionally, arable cultivation, gravel pits, ponds and marginal areas of fen. Coverage was achieved by a five member survey team, with assistance from ADAS, reserves staff and volunteers. In order to replicate a 1988 baseline survey, the present survey included approximately 59 km² of grassland (about 36%) involving 60 sample sites. These were surveyed usign a standard methodology. The aim of this was to attempt to monitor population changes in response to ESA prescriptions and other conservation measures. Details of land-use and habitats were also collected for each field. Two visits were made: one between 10/4 to 9/5, and the second 10/5 to 3/6. The second visit was often dependent on whether or not the site was already known to contain breeding waders. Ideally, visits were made within three hours of dawn or dusk in order to detect peak activity of snipe. In practice, due to the extensivecoverage required on some of the larger sites, this was not always possible. In such cases, potential snipe sites, particularly areas associated with peat soils, were visited as early as possible or alternatively at dusk. Due to poor weather for part of the survey period, it was not always possible to avoid cold or windy conditions. Each field was walked to within 100m of every part to detect birds reacting to one's presence. The number of pairs were estimated as follows: snipe - maximum number of drumming and/or chipping birds on any visit redhank - mean value, taken over the two visits, of the number of individuals (excluding flocks) not behaving as if with young added to the number behaving as if with young, divided by two lapwing - the maximum number of individuals (not in flocks) on either visit divided by two oystercatcher - the maximum number of pairs, displaying birds, nests or broods and other single birds not in flocks The presence and location of other breeding waders, breeding wildfowl other than mallard, and yellow wagtails were also recorded. Limitations: access was declined at one small site and restricted at three larger ones. |

Arctic soft-sediment macrobenthos • 1,005 records. • Description: Samples of the macrobenthic fauna of soft sediments were collected from around Svalbard during the 1991 Arctic EPOS cruise of RVPolarstern. Although faunal variability could be related to sediment granulometry and depth, all stations to the south and east of the Archipelago lay within the broadly defined central Barents Sea community. In this community, (alfa-diversity was variable and sampled between 77 and 337 m showed no clear relationship to depth. Diversity in the area close to the polar front was notably high, rarefaction predicting that 43 ± 5.5 species might occur in a sample of 201 individuals. k-Dominance plots suggested that muddy sand communities around Sval- bard were no less diverse than similar assemblages in the North Sea. • Temporal Coverage:

(Canberra [CANB] and Atherton [QRS]) comprises approximately
1.4 million specimens, including about 8251 type specimens.
Particularly comprehensive collections are held for
Australasian bryophytes and lichens, Myrtaceae (especially
Eucalyptus and Melaleuca-Callistemon), Orchidaceae,
Sapindaceae, Lauraceae, Portulacaceae and some sections of
Poaceae, Rutaceae, Proteaceae and Fabaceae. A strong
representation of Papua New Guinean material derives from past
CSIRO involvement in that area and a comprehensive specialist
collection of tropical Australian rain forest species is held
at Atherton (>100 000 collections). Voucher material for
the Australian National Botanic Gardens (ANBG) Living
Collections and the ANBG Photographic Collection is clearly
identified and accessible; the status of associated live
material at ANBG, representing c. one third of the Australian
vascular flora, is available on-line (http://www.anbg.gov.au/anbg/plant-records/search-lc-vic.html).
The existence of properly vouchered herbarium specimens for
ANBG's live plants is critical for the scientific integrity
and ongoing usefulness of scientific studies using those
plants (e.g. for DNA extracts). • Citation: http://www.cpbr.gov.au/cpbr/herbarium |

Benthic fauna in the Pechora Sea • 1,324 records. • Description: Quantitative samples of benthic fauna were collected at 15 stations for analysis of species distribution and faunal composition. Multivariate statistics indicate that the sampling stations cover a heterogeneous area with different types of community composition, as might be expected, since the Pechora Sea encompasses a wide range of depths and oceanographic conditions. However, some distinct station groupings were evident, which are considered to represent different faunal community types. Around the Island of Kolguyev, the fauna was dominated by sub-surface detritivorous Polychaeta. On the coast of Novaya Zemlya, the Chernaya Fjord contained an opportunistic faunal composition. The deep area immediately south of Novaya Zemlya was characterised by high numbers of large,
surface deposit feeding Polychaeta. The Kara Strait area showed some spatial variation in faunal characteristics, but generally contained high numbers of surface deposit feeding Polychaeta and Crustacea, as well as encrusting suspensivores on stones. The stations sampled between Kolguyev and the Pechora Bay contained large amounts of macrofaunal Foraminifera and detritivorous Polychaeta, while the fauna sampled in the Pechora Bay was typical of northern, low salinity environments. Canonical correspondence analyses indicate that water depth and sediment type play a major role in structuring the benthic fauna. The distribution of community types described in this investigation largely follow those outlined in previous Russian investigations, despite the use of different analytical strategies. This investigation provides the background for an intercomparison of methodologies in faunal analyses. • Temporal Coverage: July 1992 • Geographical Coverage: Pechora Sea •

BioMar • EcoServe • 93,003 records. • Description: By field surveys in inshore waters (usually < 5 km from shore and < 50 m deep), information was collected on littoral and sublittoral biotopes (i.e. habitat and community together) from Britain and Ireland. BioMar surveyed 1000 sites (half seashore) in Britain and 900 (200 seashore) sites in the Republic of Ireland. Of the about 6,000 species known to occur in British and Irish seas, about 3000 have been recorded in Britain and 1500 in Ireland by BioMar. Field surveys were completed in September 1996. This field information was used to (a) develop and demonstrate methods for data collection, (b) develop a classification of marine biotopes which will be applicable to inshore areas of the North-East Atlantic (but not the Baltic and Mediterranean Seas), and (c) identify areas of marine conservation importance. A
concurrent survey of coastal lands of conservation importance in Ireland was conducted, and were used in conjunction with marine results in designating boundaries of nature conservation areas of both national and European importance.
The marine biotope classification developed by the project formed the basis for describing, mapping and comparing the conservation value of inshore marine areas. To ensure the classification will have wide application in the North-East Atlantic, meetings and workshops were held in Monkswood, Cambridge and Dublin with European specialists (including CORINE, ZNIEFF-Mer) in marine ecology and management in which the background, design, and preliminary results of the developing classification were discussed, and where necessary modified.
Because of the need to get area coverage of biotopes and the difficulties in personnel surveying every part of the coast, the use of remote survey methods for both littoral (using aerial photography) and sublittoral (using acoustic and video techniques) areas were examined. These remote survey techniques allowed point source data to be linked to larger coastal areas. Over 34 surveys were conducted in a range of sea areas in Britain and Ireland, used different research vessels and equipment, and involved collaboration with different groups (BioMar partners and various government authorities). The comparability of the maps produced from the surveys demonstrated the wide application of the methods.
A database was established for data storage and analysis, and can now be linked with computer mapping systems (Geographical Information Systems). The database currently stores environmental information on from over 22,000 sampling stations at over 10,000 sites on over 500 surveys around Britain and Ireland. A systematic survey of marine ecological literature relevant to British and Irish waters was conducted by JNCC and TCD respectively. Due to the large size and complexity of the database, the production of more accessible electronic publications (on diskettes, CD-ROM, and World Wide Web) was demonstrated
In addition to its use in dissemination of data, the use of GIS in predicting the occurrence of marine habitats from widely available coastal data (e.g. coastline, bathymetry, wind direction and force) was explored (Crean et al. 1995). A wave exposure index was automated within the GIS so that the exposure for any piece of shoreline can be predicted. Additionally, a digital coastline of Ireland was labeled with the seashore types on the Admiralty charts so it was possible to calculate the amount of rock, sand, mud and other habitats from any given stretch of coast.
As a background to marine conservation management in Europe, a desk study of marine protected areas was been completed. Reports on this study, and internal reports on field surveys, have been submitted to the European Commission. There was considerable effort in disseminating information about BioMar. The partners made over 50 presentations at over 10 international and 14 national meetings, and produced over 40 publications (including 2 books). • Temporal Coverage: 1993 - 1997 |
