Flexibility and rigour in the “unconscious tradition of compromise” – the first five years of the National Plant (and habitat) Monitoring Scheme – Dr Oli Pescott

Warburg Memorial Lecture – Joint with BBOWT
Volunteer-based botanical monitoring has been a mainstay of British and Irish botany for decades, but only recently has a recording scheme for plant communities been established. Dr Pescott outlines the history of this new National Plant Monitoring Scheme, with a particular focus on the challenges and rewards that have been associated with establishing this novel approach in the UK.
