Statement

Records on the abundance and species richness of wild bees were collected across 20 field days via transect and pan trap surveys during the Spring and Summer of 2020. Species records were sense checked by the surveying ecologist, and double checked by the collating ecologist. Data were recorded on filedsheets and entered in spreadsheets. Data were exported as comma seperated files for deposit into the EIDC. The 10 m resolution raster land cover map was produced through a random forest classification of Sentinel-2 satellite imagery, accessed and classified in Google Earth Engine. Classification accuracy was assessed at 89.1% through a confusion matrix of 700 random points across the mapped area.
