Distribution of SACs/SCIs/cSACs containing species 3110 Oligotrophic waters containing very few minerals of sandy plains (<I>Littorelletalia uniflorae</I>).
Explanation of Grades
A Outstanding examples of the feature in a European context.
B Excellent examples of the feature, significantly above the threshold for SSSI/ASSI notification but of somewhat lower value than grade A sites.
C Examples of the feature which are of at least national importance (i.e. usually above the threshold for SSSI/ASSI notification on terrestrial sites) but not significantly above this. These features are not the primary reason for SACs being selected.
D Features of below SSSI quality occurring on SACs These are non-qualifying features (“non-significant presence”), indicated by a letter D, but this is not a formal global grade.
