Parts of Britain's landscape today would be unrecognisable to someone who grew up just 70 years ago, a major survey of plant life suggests.
Non-native species have thrived while some native plants have been hit by modern agriculture and climate change.
In a 20-year study, botanists counted more non-native than native species in the wild.
Thousands of volunteers counted millions of flora to produce a Plant Atlas covering the UK and Ireland.
Britain is now one of the most nature-depleted countries in the world. That decline in biodiversity is also the subject of a new BBC documentary, Wild Isles, presented by Sir David Attenborough.
One in every five plant species in the UK is listed as threatened.
