Plant diversity and occurrence over 40 years: trends in plants that impact people and their livelihoods in Great Britain
The purpose of the Plant diversity and occurrence over 40 years app is to provide an interface to data on the changing occurrence and diversity of plants across the British countryside. The plant species can be grouped by the types of contributions they make to the quality of life for people.

Capabilities
Within the Plant diversity and occurrence over 40 years data explorer the data is presented as a set of diversity over time graphs and a table showing estimated percentage of plots containing the different species over time, with uncertainty for both mean diversity and percentage of plots occupied shown by 95% confidence intervals.
Lifecycle
The data comes from the GB-wide Countryside Surveys carried out in 1978, 1990, 1998, and 2007, and continuing as part of a five year rolling program from 2019 to 2023
