提出了一种利用自然保护区网络中的植物样本数据进行生态评价的方法。该方法使用特定生境的区域植物区系调查数据作为时空比较的背景。评估是基于参考植被类型和指标分数，总结了多变量植物物种数据的重要环境梯度的植物区系相似性。该方法被实施为一个软件工具，使用植物区系调查数据在英国地区的原生沼泽。植物群落监测数据进行了评估，从该区域的基准参考社区，以说明该方法的潜在优势。这些措施包括：（a）允许在多变量植物物种数据和环境驱动因素测量之间建立联系，（B）提供对空间和时间差异的现实评估，因为比较是针对该区域指标得分的典型值进行的，（c）提供为植被监测制定现实标准的范围。
A method is presented for ecological assessment of botanical sample data from a nature reserve network. The approach uses regional floristic survey data for a specific biotope as a context for spatial and temporal comparison. Assessments are based upon floristic similarity to reference vegetation types and indicator scores that summarise multivariate plant species data in relation to important environmental gradients. The approach was implemented as a software tool using floristic survey data for soligenous mires in a UK region. Plant community monitoring data were assessed against reference communities from this regional baseline to illustrate the potential advantages of the method. These include; (a) allowing links to be made between multivariate plant species data and measurements of environmental drivers, (b) providing realistic assessments of spatial and temporal differences because comparisons are against typical values of indicator scores for the region, (c) providing the scope for setting realistic criteria for vegetation monitoring.
