Baseline conditions for ecological components of the terrestrial and associated aquatic environment were evaluated based on information from available literatures and 6 months ecological baseline surveys conducted for the purposes of this EIA. The Study Areas within the HKSAR boundary and Shenzhen boundary were defined as the area within 500m and 200m from the Project Site boundary, respectively.
Habitat/Vegetation
Habitat and vegetation surveys were performed to establish the ecological profile of habitat and vegetation within the Study Area. A total of 286 plant species were recorded during the study period, in the Study Area within the HKSAR boundary. Habitats found in the Study Area included Woodland, Plantation, Shrubby Grassland, Low-lying Grassland, Marshy Low-lying Grassland, Abandoned Agricultural Land, Cultivated Land(Dry), Wet Active Agricultural Land, Stream/River, Channel, Pond and Developed Area.
