Changes in Leicester’s vascular plant populations since records began....
Leicester City’s vascular plant population has seen huge changes during the last 300 years, not least because the land which now falls within the City boundary has changed from mostly agricultural to almost entirely urban. This project investigated this change in detail.
City Flora 2024 - Summary explains the project, outlines the main findings and lists the documentation.
Species accounts holds searchable summaries for about 1600 individual taxa with some information additional to that in the spreadsheet.
Comments on City to vc55 Taxon Frequency Comparison highlights some of the major differences in frequency changes.
Maps - Leicester Through Time shows 5 map photographs.
All recent records used in this account can be found on the Botanical Society of Britain and Ireland database.
Two searchable, sortable spreadsheets are available. One holds almost all of the detail provided in the Species accounts and the other is a vc55/City species frequency comparison. Please email russell.parry@gmail.com if you would like copies.
