Farr, G, Graham, J, and Stratford, C. 2014. Survey, characterisation and condition assessment of Palustriella dominated springs 'H7220 Petrifying springs with tufa formation (Cratoneurion)' in Wales. British Geological Survey Internal Report, OR/14/043.

This report is the product of a Natural Resources Wales (NRW) contract to survey, characterise and assess the Annex 1 habitat; Palustriella dominated springs H7220 Petrifiying springs with tufa formation (Cratoneurion) in Wales. This is the first comprehensive baseline survey of this habitat in Wales and includes a selection of 15 sites in both North and South Wales.

Article 17 of the Habitats and Species Directive requires member states to submit reports concerning the conservation status of habitats listed under Annex 1 of the Directive at six yearly intervals. This report combines new information on habitat condition, water quality and pressures at a selection of sites across Wales.

The data contained within this report aims to provide a baseline resource for this understudied terrestrial Annex 1 habitat in Wales.
