Securing Biodiversity in Breckland - European Commission

It should be recognised that the Biodiversity Audit is not able to examine whether the designatedsites are concurrent with the distribution of priority species, as monitoring and survey has beenbiased strongly towards designated sites. However, it is likely that important localities exist onfarmland and waysides.Table 16.
