Study Extent

The dataset contains co-occurrences of different kingdoms ( Animalia, Bacteria, Chromista, Protozoa, Plantae) recorded at the territory of Lower Dnipro Region. The study area is situated in the southern Ukraine.

Sampling

The dataset was created after excluding data from already published literature resources. This dataset was prepared (correctly organized according to Darwin Core standards) and published with the help of the project "Preservation of data on biodiversity of Ukraine during the Russian occupation" funded by "Documenting Ukraine" initiative. The initiative is financed by the Institute for Human Sciences in Vienna (https://www.iwm.at/). All information of the registration points was excluded from the following publications.

Quality Control

The authors are fully responsible for the quality of data provided within the dataset. We used GBIF Backbone Taxonomy (GBIF species matching tool: https://www.gbif.org/tools/species-lookup) for the taxonomic check and implemented minor corrections of species names regarding misprints and problematic taxa to avoid misinterpretation. We additionally checked and verified the header data and QGIS 3.22 (https://qgis.org) for quality control.

Method steps

1. Digitizing the information provided within the resource.
2. Transformation of the dataset according to the Darwin Core standards.
3. Georeferencing.
4. Data checking and cleaning.
5. Taxonomic check, final quality control.
