The National Flora Monitoring Scheme for Environmental- and Nature Quality (LMF - M&N) is part of the Network Ecological Monitoring (NEM). This report documents a design proposal for the LMF - M&N, meant for implementation by provinces. The monitoring scheme has two goals: (1) to indicate national changes in the ecological quality of multifunctional areas and (2) to indicate national changes in the environment, specifically acidification, eutrophication and desiccation, and the consequences of these changes for flora and fauna. The LMF - M&N is also meant for collection of information on the common plant species of the nature indicators of the Nature Policy Assessment Office and the Environmental Policy Assessment Office.
