Talk:List of plant communities in the British National Vegetation Classification

Over-long links
Some of the red links here are very long. I wonder if they couldn't all be abbreviated in the form NVC-M29? Andy Mabbett 11:24, 7 October 2005 (UTC:)


 * I'd prefer the article titles themselves to be as complete as possible. However, I take your point - I assume the main issue is the need to avoid other editors fingers' wearing out? If so, I think redirects are probably the way forward. :)The form above seems a little too abbreviated (conceivably NVC-M29 could actually be something other than a plant community?X) "NVC Community M29" would be both brief and sufficiently unique. Open to suggestions though. SP-KP 11:53, 7 October 2005 (UTC:)

Expansion suggestion
Subcommunities could be added, as could subgroupings of the main groups (e.g. the different geographical groups of calcicolous grassland:) SP-KP 22:06, 2 May 2006 (UTC:)

Upward merging
Can we keep these to one article for each community type, listing just the communities of that type and their constant species, rather than having one article for each community with very little information on each and no hope of expansion? Chris cheese whine 03:03, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
 * As an example, see Woodland and scrub communities in the British National Vegetation Classification system. The other community types should probably all be structured in this way.  Chris cheese whine 03:04, 8 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Any progress on the upmerging yet? Chris cheese whine 23:57, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Salt Marsh
It now appears that you can download and use a chunk of volume 5, dealing with salt marsh, for free from the JNCC at. It appears that volume 5 is the only volume available as an ebook,. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Anon998877 (talk • contribs) 20:11, 12 May 2007 (UTC).

What does "Br.-Bl" mean?
I can't seem to find a description of this subscript, and I would think it valuable to define here. Anyone? Al Begamut (talk) 21:11, 19 March 2024 (UTC)
