The quality and occurrence of habitats and the distribution and abundance of species are in line with prevailing physiographic, geographic and climatic conditions. Quantitative target, calculated from 19 indicators (see Assessment method). This target and its indicators correspond to Descriptor 1 and relevant criteria and indicators.
