| Résumé : |
”In the course of our research on geographical distributions and climate change, we have frequently wanted to characterize the plants that constitute the wild flora of Britain and Ireland. Several sources of information were available, including the Electronic comparative plant ecology (Hodgson et al., 1994), the Czech clonal plant database Clopla 1 (http://www.butbn.cas.cz/klimes/clopla1.htm), the BSBI database (http://www.bsbi.org.uk/html/database.html), the Ecoflora database (Fitter & Peat, 1994), and the indicator values of Ellenberg (Ellenberg et al., 1991). Inevitably, these sources were not sufficient for our purposes, and we have gradually assembled our own set of attribute data, linked to the database of the Biological records centre (BRC). The establishment of the National biodiversity network (NBN) provided an additional stimulus to the assembling of attribute data, offering a suitable platform for online searches for species attributes. Some of the information published here is also available from the NBN gateway (www.searchnbn.net). In 2002, the publication of the new Atlas of the British and Irish flora (Preston, Pearman & Dines, 2002), together with results of a companion project to analyse change (Preston,Telfer et al., 2002), allowed us to complete the dataset that is presented here. The dataset is partly old and partly new (Table 1). Biogeographic elements and Ellenberg values are taken with few modifications from earlier publications (Preston & Hill, 1997, 1999; Hill et al., 1999). Information that depends directly on the new atlas is either new or (Change index) is taken from the text of the new atlas. Data on the broad habitats of plants are mostly drawn from an unpublished report (Preston et al., 2003). Information on plant height, perennation, life form and clonal growth was assembled from a variety of floras and monographs, with some personal observation; it is a new compilation. Further details of these attributes are provided in the following pages. The attribute categories are tabulated (Tables 2-13), with the number of taxa in each category listed in the column ‘N=’.. ” (source : auteurs) |
