Proposed National Atlas of Britain or the British Isles

Summary

This article proposes the creation of a National Atlas of Great Britain or the British Isles, aiming to present a comprehensive and objective scientific overview of the region's natural conditions, resources, land use, history, and population. It highlights the potential contributions of the British Ecological Society, offering ten specific suggestions, including maps of vegetation and land use, plant community distributions, vegetation-physiography correlations, freshwater organism dispersal routes, vice-comital divisions, species spread rates, vegetation history, and marine organism distributions. These proposals are intended to inform the Atlas Committee and invite active participation and feedback from society members.
