Corrections

19 December 2023

We have corrected an error in the physical value of air pollution regulating, affecting table 11. The previous version incorrectly excluded some physical removals due to errors in the aggregation of geographic areas. Monetary values split by habitat are also affected as physical flows are used to apportion annual monetary values across habitats. Total monetary values (annual and asset) are unaffected.

25 January 2024

We have corrected an error in the habitat coverage of air pollution regulating, affecting table 11. The previous version incorrectly reported the habitat coverage variable in hectares when it should have been in square kilometers. All values in the table are unaffected.

We have updated the GDP Deflators source link to reflect the latest version of the data being used.

05 July 2024

We have found an error affecting the service of fish provisioning where data was incorrectly apportioned across the nations. This has a minor impact (less than 1%) on fish provisioning values for the UK, but has a larger impact on the values for the four nations. We will correct this error in the next UK Natural Capital Accounts, due to be published on 8th November.
