Terrestrial habitat, vegetation and soil data from Cumbria, England, 1975
This dataset comprises plant species, soils, habitat types and major biota present, collected during a survey of the English county of Cumbria, using standardised survey methods. The survey was undertaken by the Institute of Terrestrial Ecology (a forerunner of the Centre for Ecology & Hydrology) in 1975 within a stratified random set of sites. In total, up to 650 plots were surveyed from within 48 x 1km squares. Full details about this dataset can be found at https://doi.org/10.5285/e96b909d-d52e-4b36-bc51-905ece420794

Data were collected on paper by trained field surveyors using standardised methods and later digitised by the Centre for Ecology & Hydrology, Lancaster. Soil samples were analysed at laboratories belonging to the Institute of Terrestrial Ecology, Merlewood, Grange-over-Sands.
