Habitats Data - NVC Polygons

National Vegetation Classification (NVC) survey.

Classifies British vegetation into a series of plant communities according to phytosociological groups using standard field methods and data analysis/classification techniques. The methodology is based on taking quadrats using a strict sampling system from stands of homogeneous vegetation.
