BSBI: Botanical Society of Britain and Ireland 2020 Plant Atlas, Northern Ireland launch
National Museums NI Natural Sciences team hosted the Botanical Society of Britain and Ireland (BSBI) for the Northern Ireland launch of the 2020 Plant Atlas in March.
Thousands of botanists from the BSBI have spent the last twenty years collecting data on changes in the British and Irish floras. The results have now been published in Plant Atlas 2020, the most in-depth survey of the British and Irish flora ever undertaken. It builds on two previous Atlas surveys undertaken by the BSBI in the twentieth century.
