Abstract

The Dutch Vegetation Database (LVD) hosts information on all plant communities in the Netherlands. This archive consists of over 600.000 recent and historic vegetation descriptions. The data provide information on more than 85 years of vegetation recording in various habitats covering terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems from natural, semi-natural as well as cultural landscapes.

Keywords: Netherlands, Vegetation plots, Turboveg, Alterra, Plant communities, Dutch National Vegetation Database, Samplingevent

General description

Purpose: The Dutch Vegetation Database (LVD) is used for many different purposes, e.g. vegetation classification, species trend analysis, providing distribution maps of plant communities and Natura 2000 habitat types. Part of the database (100.000 plots) are included in the European Vegetation Database (EVA; http://euroveg.org/eva-database).
Additional information: The location of plots having at least one threatened species listed on the Dutch Red list have been obscured to a level of 5x5 km squares.
