Phase 2 Lowland Grassland Survey of Wales: Site packs paper maps and field notes (paper data)

This dataset contains site packs from over 1070 sites surveyed or resurveyed during the Phase 2 Lowland Grassland Survey of Wales 1987-2004 and since. The site packs contain, for each site, site summary sheets (general site information and plant community area summations), site descriptions, vegetation maps and plant community (quadrat and stand) data, recorded using the National Vegetation Classification (NVC). The data was collected to provide detailed information for each site, to supplement published summary information of the Phase 2 Lowland Grassland Survey of Wales.
