General Botanical Resources

Listed and linked below are a series of useful and / or interesting resources that I occaisionally refer to to help me with my studies and my professional work

• BSBI Plant Atlas An essential resource for understanding the distribution of plants in the British Isles
• Ellenberg Indicator Values Spreadsheet A spreadsheet detailing the Ellenberg indicator values of plants found in the British Isles and more useful info.
• Ellenberg Value Interpretation Guide A PDF to help interpret the above spreadsheet.
• British Bryological Society Species Finder The BBS have uploaded scans of their 'Mosses and Liverworts of Britain and Ireland: A Field Guide' and additional information. Very useful in aiding with bryophyte ID and distribution.
• British Plant Communities Lists British Plant Community books (NVC, Rodwell) are expensive and hence often inaccessible but vital resource. Here are lists of plant communities and their respective NVC community codes to access for free.
