Why do we need to monitor the natural environment?
Because this enables us to assess the current status of the environment and to understand the causes of change. Long-term national monitoring is important for assessing the status of the environment and for helping to understand the causes of change.
Providing answers to high-level questions
UKCEH collects and integrates national scale datasets, enabling researchers to answer high-level questions around the status and trends of environmental resources.
