This book was written with three sets of people in mind. Firstly, junior ecological consultants who want to improve their Phase 1 Habitat Surveys with botanical target notes useful in ecological assessment. Secondly, students of ecology who need to use plants to interpret the landscape around them and understand habitats in greater detail. Thirdly, amateur naturalists and walkers who seek to enrich their experience of the countryside through a knowledge of plants.
Compiled from a range of published sources and from the authorÕs personal experience, it is intended for use primarily in the lowland English countryside. The book takes the form of two tables and an exercise. Relevant published sources are cited in the tables and fully referenced at the end of the document.
