Species List for a Fallen Beech, New Forest, Hampshire, March and April 2010


Species List, Beech Tree, SU30996 11000± 6m.

All species of lichen, lichenicolous fungi and bryophytes identified were recorded up the trunk in 2m intervals and then the canopy branches were recorded as one unit. Cover was estimated using the DAFOR scale (D = Dominant, A = Abundant, F = Frequent, O = Occasional, R = Rare).

Conservation Status (2012):
VU = Vulnerable Red Data Book Species
NT = Near Threatened RDB species
Nb = Notable species (DD, NR, NS or IR species which are not RDB NT or higher status. Lichenicolous species not in the Lichens of Great Britain or Ireland not included)
DD = Assessed as Data Deficient in the RDB
NR = Nationally Rare
NS = Nationally Scarce
IR = Internationally Responsibility species
BAP = Priority Biodiversity Action Plan species

Ancient Woodland Species
NI = NIEC ancient woodland indicator
