BLS Mapping Scheme dataset, 1750-2009
British Lichen Society
Description
Lichen distribution data at 10km square level, distinguishing records from before and since 1960.
Geographic Description
The dataset covers the whole of Britain and Ireland, however surveys have been targetted on particular habitats and geographical areas at different times and the coverage is not complete. The absence of a record does not necessarily imply that the species is absent from that square.
Records are at 10km precision.
Purpose
To collate data on lichen distributions.
Data quality
The data included in these maps has been verified by experts in the British Lichen Society. However, it is summary data and further detail and professional advice should be sought before it is used in contentious circumstances.
Methods
The dataset has been compiled from field and herbarium records, and verified by specialist review.
