UK Species Inventory - Master copy

A full copy of the UK Species Inventory, including all tables. This gives the ultimate in functionality but does require a copy of Microsoft Access (or similar database environment) and skills in joining and querying complex table relationships. Although this dataset includes the source checklists, these are NOT to be reproduced without the permission of their creators. The manual is provided here but please contact me if you think you need access to the data itself.
