The goal of BIFloraExplorer is to present an up to date trait repository and species list for all vascular plants currently extant in Britain and Ireland.
The dataset can also be downloaded from the EIDC (https://catalogue.ceh.ac.uk/documents/9f097d82-7560-4ed2-af13-604a9110cf6d), where a detailed description of this dataset is included. The EIDC hosted version is static and will not be updated. All updates will be contained within the development version on this GitHub page.
You can install the development version from GitHub with:
# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("RBGKew/BIFloraExplorer")
The data allows a new insights into current species trends.
