Landscape point feature data 1984 [Countryside Survey]

This dataset consists of landscape point feature information for points across Great Britain, surveyed in 1984. Data are presented as rows of information recorded as point features (for example individual trees, water bodies or structures), with associated vegetation species where relevant, within a set of 382 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.

Report

Dataset Reference Date (): 2010-12-08

Statement: The data were recorded onto paper field sheets in the summer of 1984 by professional surveyors. Data were recorded from 382 1km squares sited across Britain, selected by random stratified sample. The point information was digitized in the late 1990s and is managed by Centre for Ecology & Hydrology. The survey was managed by the Institute of Terrestrial Ecology (which later became part of the Centre for Ecology & Hydrology).
