National Plant Monitoring Scheme survey data (2015-2018)

This data resource provides plot-level plant occurrence data for the first four years (2015-2018) of the National Plant Monitoring Scheme (covering the UK, the Channel Islands, and the Isle of Man). Data consist of individual observations of plants, and other habitat characteristics, at the metre-scale; observations are accompanied by percentage cover information recorded according to the Domin frequency-abundance scale commonly used in plant community ecology. Other information provided includes the plot type (size, shape, according to the NPMS classification), the volunteer-recorded NPMS habitat, the date of sampling, and information regarding the spatial location of the plot. Information contained within the metadata file should allow users to reconstruct the sampling history (including gaps) of any plot that has been sampled within the NPMS scheme between 2015 and 2018. This work was supported by the Natural Environment Research Council award number NE/R016429/1 as part of the UK-SCAPE programme delivering National Capability. Please be aware that this dataset is updated annually and that more recent versions exist.

本数据资源提供了国家植物监测计划（涵盖英国、海峡群岛和马恩岛）前四年（2015-2018年）的植物分布情况数据。数据包括单个植物观测以及其他栖息地特征，以米级尺度进行记录；观测数据伴随根据植物群落生态学中常用之Domin频率-丰富度量表所记录的覆盖率信息。此外，还提供了样地类型（按NPMS分类的大小、形状）、志愿者记录的NPMS栖息地、采样日期以及样地空间位置信息。元数据文件中所包含的信息应使用户能够重建2015年至2018年NPMS计划中任何已采样样地的采样历史（包括间隔）。本研究得到自然环境研究理事会（Natural Environment Research Council）资助，资助编号为NE/R016429/1，作为英国-SCAPE项目的一部分，旨在提供国家能力。请注意，该数据集每年更新一次，且存在更新的版本。关于此数据集的详细信息可在以下链接找到：https://doi.org/10.5285/79604721-049b-42ab-a8d7-a9c8b18a193f
