[This dataset is embargoed until October 31, 2026]. This dataset contains vascular plant data recorded from 25 m2 plots in calcareous, neutral or improved grassland habitats and associated questionnaire data on the functionality of the e-Surveyor mobile application used to capture the data. All data were recorded at workshops in Central and Southern England, during June-August 2024. The 51 surveys were recorded by 37 different volunteer participants using the habitat survey function within e-Surveyor and by 2-3 professional expert botanists that worked independently to collect a full plant inventory list. The dataset also contains questionnaire data about participant's experience using the application, which was collected at each workshop directly after the plant survey.
