The NVC divides communities broadly acccording to habitat, using a letter shorthand to indicate the general habitat type:
- A = water,
- CG = calcareous grassland,
- H = heath,
- M = mire,
- MC = maritime cliff,
- MG = mesotrophic grassland (moderately fertile soil),
- OV = open vegetation,
- S = swamp,
- SD = sand dune,
- SM = salt marsh,
- U = upland, and
- W = wood.
