Plant indicator species for JNCC Common Standards habitat monitoring, UK
Dataset contains lists of plant indicator species extracted from the JNCC Common Standards habitat monitoring guidance for the UK. The Common Standards Monitoring (CSM) approach was developed in order to standardise the monitoring of designated nature conservation sites. As well as extracting (and sometimes interpreting) the plant species noted in the CSM guidance documents, we provide links to CSM habitats, National Vegetation Classification communities, National Plant Monitoring Scheme (www.npms.org.uk) indicator species, and provide current taxonomic names in a lookup table. This work was supported by the Natural Environment Research Council award number NE/R016429/1 as part of the UK-SCAPE programme delivering National Capability.

Data were extracted from existing JNCC documentation by Kevin Walker. These were subjected to checks from habitat experts during the developing of the National Plant Monitoring Scheme (see e.g. Pescott et al. 2019; https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0215891). Species names were validated through automated look-ups to the BSBI database, following by manual checking, the results of which are included in this deposit.
