UK Environmental Change Network (ECN) coarse grain vegetation data: 1993-2012

Coarse grain vegetation data from the UK Environmental Change Network (ECN) terrestrial sites. These data are collected at all of ECN's terrestrial sites using a standard protocol (see supporting documentation). In this protocol, 50 2m x 2m plots are randomly selected within each vegetation type on the site - species presence is recorded in 40cm x 40 cm cells randomly selected within these plots. They represent continuous records every nine years from 1993 to 2012. ECN is the UK's long-term environmental monitoring programme. It is a multi-agency programme sponsored by a consortium of fourteen government departments and agencies. These organisations contribute to the programme through funding either site monitoring and/or network co-ordination activities. These organisations are: Agri-Food and Biosciences Institute, Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council, Cyfoeth Naturiol Cymru - Natural Resources Wales, Defence Science & Technology Laboratory, Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, Environment Agency, Forestry Commission, Llywodraeth Cymru - Welsh Government, Natural England, Natural Environment Research Council, Northern Ireland Environment Agency, Scottish Environment Protection Agency, Scottish Government and Scottish Natural Heritage.

英国环境变化网络（ECN）陆地站点提供的粗粒度植被数据。该数据集采用统一的标准协议（详见支持性文件）在所有陆地站点进行收集。在每一植被类型中，随机选取50个2米×2米的样地，并在这些样地内随机选取40厘米×40厘米的单元格记录物种存在情况。这些数据自1993年至2012年每九年连续记录一次，代表了英国环境变化网络这一长期环境监测计划的连续记录。英国环境变化网络是一个由十四个政府部门和机构组成的联合体资助的多机构项目。这些机构通过资助站点监测和/或网络协调活动来参与该计划。具体包括：农业食品和生物科学研究所、生物技术和生物科学研究中心、Cyfoeth Naturiol Cymru - 自然资源威尔士、国防科学与技术实验室、环境、食品和农村事务部、环境署、林业委员会、Llywodraeth Cymru - 威尔士政府、自然英格兰、自然环境研究委员会、北爱尔兰环境署、苏格兰环境保护局、苏格兰政府以及苏格兰自然遗产。关于此数据集的详细信息可在以下链接中找到：https://doi.org/10.5285/d349babc-329a-4d6e-9eca-92e630e1be3f
