DESCRIPTION
v.in.natura2000 imports Natura 2000 protected areas. The tool is implemented for the sqlite/spatialite version of this data (size > 1 GB). Listing und import operations of v.in.natura2000 may be slow due to the huge data file size. Listing (already availabe layers, biogeographic regions, EU member states codes, habitat codes, species codes, protected area site types) and importing (all data, protected areas of a defined habitat/species/member states/biogeographic region) is limited to some small selection of wide range of possible cases.Important notes
Topological correctness of the input data is not guaranteed, overlapping of (many) polygones may occur. According to GRASS GIS topological model, imported data may have more layers in case of overlapping polygones . The sqlite/spatialite data is shipped in EPSG:3035 projection. The script uses pyspatialite for connecting to the sqlite/spatialite database.
With the database update by end 2015 the column PERCENTAGE_COVER in the HABITATS table was renamed to PERCENTAGECOVER. The addon script was adapted accordingly; for Natura 2000 database versions < 2015, the column has to be renamed back.
Depending on which taxonomy was used to identify species, different species codes may be used for species across EU member states. Check the Reference Portal for Natura 2000 (Codelist for species (Annex II,IV,V)) for species and their synonyms.
