Column Description
Ecosystem Classification Level:

Hierarchical level at which the ecosystem type has been classified. In accordance with the KBA Standard, classification levels correspond with an intermediate level in a globally consistent ecosystem classification hierarchy, for example Level 4 (biogeographic ecotypes) or level 5 (global ecosystem types) in the IUCN Global Ecosystem Typology.

Ecosystem Classification System:

Classification system used to classify ecosystems. IVC = International Vegetation Classification. CNVC = Canadian National Vegetation Classification. TES = Terrestrial Ecological Systems (NatureServe). IUCN = IUCN Global Ecosystem Typology.

Threat Status:

The threat status displayed is the one that qualifies the ecosystem as a criterion A2 trigger under KBA standards, if applicable. Statuses from other assessment agencies may exist. For more information on which threat status is used in KBA assessments, see the National KBA Standard.

Level:

The level (global or national) at which the ecosystem was assessed at the site.

KBA criteria met:

  • A2. Meets criterion A2: Threatened ecosystem types.
  • B4. Meets criterion B4: Geographically restricted ecosystem types.
Extent of ecosystem at site:

Estimate in km2 of the amount of area in the site covered by the ecosystem type.

Total Extent of Ecosystem:

Estimate in km2 of the total amount of area covered by the ecosystem type, globally if “Level” is global and nationally if “Level” is national.

% of Total Extent at Site:

Best estimate of the percent of the total extent of the ecosystem type contained within the site, globally if “Level” is global and nationally if “Level” is national.

Year assessed:

The year in which the biodiversity element of the KBA was last assessed. The information provided is current as of the date of KBA assessment.
