Landscape point feature data 2007 [Countryside Survey]

This dataset consists of landscape point feature information for points across Great Britain, surveyed in 2007. Data are presented as rows of information recorded as point features (for example individual trees, water bodies or structures), with associated species where relevant, within a set of 591 1km squares across Great Britain, surveyed during the Countryside Survey long term monitoring project (note: not all surveyed squares contained point features). The Countryside Survey is a unique study or 'audit' of the natural resources of the UK's countryside. The sample sites are chosen from a stratified random sample, based on a 15 by 15 km grid of GB. Surveys have been carried out in 1978, 1984, 1990, 1998 and 2007 by the Centre for Ecology & Hydrology, with repeated visits to the majority of squares. The countryside is sampled and surveyed using rigorous scientific methods, allowing us to compare new results with those from previous surveys. In this way we can detect the gradual and subtle changes that occur in the UK's countryside over time. In addition to point features, habitat areas, vegetation species data, soil data, linear habitat data, and freshwater habitat data are also gathered by Countryside Survey.

本数据集包含对大不列颠境内各点状地物特征的景观信息，该信息于2007年进行测量。数据以点状特征（例如单独的树木、水体或结构）的记录信息行形式呈现，其中涉及的相关物种信息亦一并提供。这些数据分布在英国境内591个1平方公里的网格区域内，测量工作是在乡村调查长期监测项目中完成的（注：并非所有测量网格均包含点状特征）。乡村调查是对英国乡村自然资源进行的一项独特研究或‘审计’。样本站点是从大不列颠15公里×15公里的网格中进行分层随机选取的。测量工作自1978年、1984年、1990年、1998年和2007年由生态与水文学研究中心进行，并对大多数网格区域进行了重复访问。乡村调查采用严格的科学方法进行采样和测量，使我们能够将新结果与先前调查结果进行比较。通过这种方式，我们可以检测到英国乡村随时间推移所发生的渐进性和微妙的变化。除了点状特征外，乡村调查还收集了生境区域、植被物种数据、土壤数据、线性生境数据和淡水生境数据。关于此数据集的详细信息可在以下链接找到：https://doi.org/10.5285/55dc5fd7-d3f7-4440-b8a7-7187f8b0550b
