Summary
BI is British Isles, Fe is Fennoscandia. Information on status in the two areas is based on available evidence – i is indigenous, n is aturalised, e is ephemeral, * is endemic to the area.
Wl is the mean temperature (°C) of the coldest month calculated for the lowest altitudes in the Atlas Florae Europaeae squares - to be compared with the distribution of atlantic species.
R is the R-value calculated for the lowest altitudes in the squares – to be compared with the distribution of thermophilic plants.
Wh is the mean temperature (°C) of the coldest month calculated for the highest point in each square – to be compared with the distribution of boreal species.
Tmax is the mean annual maximum temperature (°C) calculated for the highest point in each square – to be compared with the distribution of montane and alpine species.
The sequence of families and genera is according to Flora Europaeabased on D. M. Moore: Check-list and chromosome index. Flora Europaea, 1982. The nomenclature is mainly according to the same source, but modified according to Clapham
et al (1987) and Lid (1985).
Although all species occurring in Northern Europe according to Flora Europaea are listed in this appendix, correlations between their distribution and the four climatic parameteres are only presented for those species where the correlations are realistic and ecologically plausible.
