Abstract: The UK National Vegetation Classification Database (GIVD ID GB-001) holds the encoded data for 35,000 relevés from the UK NVC programme. The NVC is a phytosociological classification of all vegetation types of natural, semi-natural and major artificial habitats in England, Scotland and Wales. It was published as five volumes of British Plant Communities (Rodwell, J.S., editor, Cambridge University Press, 1991-2000) which contain modular community accounts, synoptic tables and distribution maps of available samples.
