National Plant Monitoring Scheme - Northern Ireland
National Plant Monitoring Scheme
Description
The National Plant Monitoring Scheme (NPMS) is a habitat-based plant monitoring scheme designed by BSBI, CEH, Plantlife and JNCC. The aim is to collect data to provide an annual indication of changes in plant abundance and diversity. This dataset includes NPMS species occurrence data for Northern Ireland; a companion, but separate dataset is supplied for England, Wales, Scotland.
See http://www.npms.org.uk for more information. Note that although all records within the NPMS are collected at the sub-10 m scale, the Northern Irish dataset presented here is degraded to 1 km.
