## Notice

The Natural Capital and Ecosystem Assessment (NCEA) is a science innovation and transformation programme lead by DEFRA that spans across land and water environments. It has been set up to collect data on the extent, condition and change over time of England's ecosystems and natural capital, and the benefits to society. The NCEA has identified the need for a national surveillance programme for groundwater dependent terrestrial ecosystems (GWDTE) that is supported by an appropriate sampling design and enables a robust assessment of England's environment using a national capital approach. This project will support the implementation of the NCEA Groundwater Dependent Terrestrial Ecosystem (GWDTEs) network. The aim of this project is to undertake the ecological survey at 8 GWDTE sites
