The aim of BRC’s publication and research work is to help link volunteer recording efforts to those of research scientists, and develop innovative observational projects that add new insights into large-scale biological processes.
Our research work is summarised within the key themes listed along the right handside of this page.
You can download a booklet which summarises the first 50 years of BRC.
Below is a complete list of our research publications.
