Floodplain meadows are found in the floodplains of rivers in central, southern and north eastern England. The known distribution of the great burnet-meadow foxtail floodplain meadow plant community is shown in the adjacent map.

The national distribution of lowland marsh marigold - crested dogstail (MG8) and other species-rich communities is not well known. However, it is considered that there is only a small resource of the lowland MG8 community remaining in England, with a larger resource in Scotland. The partnership would like to pool local data to create a national distribution map.
