Bee nectar plant diversity of Great Britain

This dataset models bee nectar plant richness across Great Britain (GB). It uses counts of bee nectar plants (using a list agreed with experts) in Countryside Survey area vegetation plots in 2007 and extrapolates to 1km squares across GB using a generalised additive mixed model. Co-variables used in the model are Broad Habitat (the dominant broad habitat of the 1km square), air temperature, nitrogen deposition, precipitation and altitude. This data provides a metric of the Natural Capital associated with pollination, although to measure the service itself you would require additional datasets. Understanding the distribution of bee nectar plants does provide valuable information on the potential distribution of pollinators and hence pollination.

Statement
This dataset was created from Countryside Survey 2007 area (x,y,u) vegetation plot data. In each plot the bee nectar plants are counted using a list of nectar plants that was agreed with experts and has been provided with this dataset. The data was extrapolated to 1km squares across GB using a generalised additive mixed model incorporating the 1km square as a random variable to account for spatial autocorrelation between plots in the same square. A poisson distribution was specified. Co-variables used in the model are Broad Habitat (the dominant broad habitat of the 1km square), air temperature, nitrogen deposition, precipitation and altitude.
