Many sites were set up across the globe as part of the IBP, one of which was in Snowdonia. This dataset contains raw data collected at a site in Snowdonia as part of the IBP. Data collected includes meteorological data, vegetation data flora and fauna data etc. The dataset also contains some earlier data on sheep numbers. Purpose of data capture: The IBP was set up to coordinate large-scale ecological and environmental studies. The main purpose of data capture was to gain a greater understanding of whole ecosystem dynamics and how ecosystem processes may be affected by environmental change. Methods of data capture: Extensive field research was carried out at the site throughout the duration of the IBP. Soil collection, vegetation sampling, meteorological studies and weighing of animals were some of the methods used. Geographic coverage: The main experimental site was above Llyn Llydaw on Snowdon. Temporal coverage: The IBP ran from approximately 1964 to 1974. The main work on Snowdon took place during the late 60s; however there is also data on sheep numbers from the 1950s. Confidence in data: High. Survey work was undertaken by expert scientists.
