| Abstract | Following Maes et al. (2018), ecosystem condition was quantified in the CS2 area considering three different classes of conservation status: ‘Favourable’, ‘Unfavourable-inadequate’ and ‘Unfavourable-bad’, ‘Unfavourable’ meaning that management policies for these habitats should be implemented and/or changed. Spatial information on human pressure (i.e. the human footprint) was used as a proxy of ecosystem condition (Maes et al. 2018), given the strong causal relationship between pressures and ecosystem condition. Human footprint dataset was previously standardized and then three different human pressure categories were established according to quantile thresholds. Ecosystem condition category is attributed to each habitat type (EUNIS habitat classification levels 1 and 2). Habitats in the best condition category (3) are at a favourable condition, whereas habitats in the two lower ecosystem condition categories (2, 1) are at unfavourable-inadequate and unfavourable-bad condition, respectively. |
