Irish Semi-natural Grassland Survey 2007-2012
This dataset presents results of a nationwide survey of semi-natural grasslands across Ireland, carried out between 2007 and 2012. Following a 2007 pilot study in counties Roscommon and Offaly, a full national survey began in 2008, covering all 26 counties. Botanical and environmental data were collected from a total of 1,192 surveyed sites, documenting the condition and distribution of semi-natural grassland habitats. The survey provides baseline ecological information on grassland vegetation types and their environmental characteristics, supporting habitat assessment and conservation work in Ireland.In 2008, following a 2007 pilot study in Roscommon and Offaly, a nationwide research study into the semi-natural grasslands of Ireland commenced.
