Bildrechte: NLWKNBiotope and Habitat Types in the Project Area
Within the framework of the LIFE project, the biotope and habitat types of the project area were mapped in the summer of 2006.
A total of 47 habitat types were identified. The table below shows the main 10 groups.

Bildrechte: NLWKNOverview Map – Distribution of the main habitat groups in the LIFE project area
9 habitat types were identified in the LIFE project area:
| 3130 | Oligotrophic to mesotrophic standing waters with vegetation of the Littorelletea uniflorea and/or of the Isoëto-Nanojuncetea |
| 3160 | Natural dystrophic lakes and ponds |
| 4010 | Northern Atlantic wet heaths with Erica tetralix |
| 4030 | European dry heaths |
| 5130 | Juniperus communis formations on heaths or calcareous grasslands |
| 7140 | Transition mires and quaking bogs |
| 7150 | Depressions on peat substrates of the Rhynchosporion |
| 9190 | Old acidophilous oak woods with Quercus robur on sandy plains |
| 91D0* | Bog woodland |
Approximately 68% of the LIFE project area consists of habitat types under the Habitats Directive, a total of 395.84 hectares. Compared to the national level, this is above average. The area balance for the three classes of conservation,
A – very good conservation status
B – good conservation status
C – medium to poor conservation status
makes it obvious that on the whole the conservation status of the majority of habitat types under the Habitats Directive is currently medium to poor. Maintenance and development measures are necessary to restore a good conservation status.
