Environmental Change Network: Vegetation

Semi-natural and managed vegetation is often very sensitive to the main drivers of environmental change, ie climate, pollutants and land use practices. Its monitoring requires as a starting point an accurate and comprehensive description of the extent and character of the vegetation cover of each ECN site. Referring this variation in vegetation to a descriptive scheme that is applicable at least to all network sites, and preferably to a wider geographical area, is important for comparing changes across ECN.
