The Atlas of Bryophytes: time for every bryologist to do their duty

You have  left to submit records for the new Atlas of Bryophytes. Information about the scope and timetable of the project can be found here.

A map showing the current number of records (at February 2012) for each hectad (from 1950, 1970 and 1990 onwards) can be found here.

Mark Hill has provided us with a spreadsheet and map listing the under-recorded hectads for the British Isles, showing where our recording efforts should especially be directed. By popular request, the map is also available with the vice county boundaries shown here. There is also a zipped spreadsheet showing the 20 most likely missed taxa from the hectads which can be downloaded here.

More details about accommodation for the 2012 Spring Meeting in Cumbria and the 2013 Normandy meeting are available on the Forthcoming Meetings page. PLEASE NOTE THAT THE HQ FOR THE SUMMER 2012 FIELD MEETING IN IRELAND FIRST WEEK HAS MOVED FROM BALLYMONEY TO COLERAINE
