Falkland Islands plant dataset for identification of Important Plant Areas 2007-2009

Falkland Islands Plants Conservation Project. OTEP-funded project between 2007 and 2009. The focus was on native plants and identifying Important Plant Areas (IPAs) and surveying new potentially suitable areas for threatened species and habitats not covered in the 2002 Falklands vascular plant atlas - informed by local knowledge and species distribution modelling carried out at RBG Kew - and studying previously identified areas of botanical significance at a finer scale. Species and community-level data for vascular flora of the Falkland Islands. Reference code: FAL 401
