NVS Express

NVS Express is a freely available purpose-built Windows tool for entering and summarising vegetation data compatible with NVS. It accepts data collected using the standard vegetation inventory (i.e. 'Recces') and forest monitoring (i.e. permanent fixed-area plots) methods. NVS Express includes tools to validate, exchange and convert data.

Feature Overview

  • Data entry for standard plot collection methods
  • Data validation tools to verify data integrity
  • Data export in a range of formats, including for upload into the National Vegetation Survey Databank
  • Data summarisation (tabulations, cross-tabulations, histograms, and statistics)
  • Analysis of temporal change
  • Community classifcation using TWINSPAN

Getting Started

NVS Express runs on Windows XP and Windows 7 and requires the MS.Net framework, version 3.5.
