Upland Vegetation Survey of Cadair Idris National Nature Reserve (NNR)
This dataset contains the survey results from the Cadair Idris National Nature Reserve between August and September 1999. The survey was commissioned by former Countryside Council for Wales, in order to map and describe the vegetation of Cadair Idris. The reserve comprises of approximately 450 hectares of the Cadair Idris massif some 6 km south of Dolgellau.

The fieldwork was carried out between 29 August and 3 September 1999.Different types of vegetation were distinguished from each other according to variation in flora and structure These vegetation types were allocated to communities and sub-communities of the National Vegetation Classification. The National Vegetation Classification (NVC) is a classification of natural and semi−natural vegetation types in the British Isles. The classification works on three levels. The first is the broad vegetation type denoted by upper−case letters such as H for heath, W for woodland and M for mire. The second level is the community. There are several within each broad vegetation type and they are denoted by numbers and names such as H18 Vaccinium myrtillus−Deschampsia flexuosa heath. The final level is the sub-community. These are divisions within communities. Each sub-community has a lower-case letter and a name, such as H18a Vaccinium myrtillus−Deschampsia flexuosa heath, Hylocomium splendens, Rhytidiadelphus loreus sub-community. NVC communities and sub-communities take their names from between one and three plant species which are characteristic of that NVC type in Great Britain as a whole. These are not necessarily the most common or conspicuous species in every example of the NVC type in question; the assignment of vegetation to an NVC type is based on the total flora.
