Provisional Atlases

Only the most recent editions of national atlases (and other relevant publications) containing maps at the 10km square scale are listed. Some of the preliminary atlases were produced for limited circulation only. BRC's Provisional Atlases can be purchased from the Centre for Ecology and Hydrology.

PLEASE NOTE: Those publications show in in bold green type are currently available. Those shown in bold red type are under consideration. We regret that those in normal type are not currently available from CEH Monks Wood Publications
