The dataset contains records of Vascular Flora and Habitats collected the scope of the Ecological Monitoring Program (2021-2023) of the Foz Tua Hydroelectric Dam, promoted by EDP – Energias de Portugal, S.A, subsequently (2021) transferred to Movhera Hidroelétricas do Norte, S.A. Data were collected in the spring 2021-2023, during field visits to 88-129 sampling points (depending on the accessibility and the year), distributed along the river Tua valley, from the mouth to 52km upstream. This dataset includes the second stage of the exploration phase (2021-2023). A total of 11724 records of plant species or infra-specific categories was produced.Purpose
This dataset is part of a broader initiative whereby the company Movhera – Hidroelétricas do norte S.A. will make available biodiversity data collected during impact assessment and biological monitoring studies.
Sampling Description
Study Extent
The data were collected along the Tua lower valley (Northeast Portugal), up to 52km from the mouth, in the municipalities of Alijó, Carrazeda de Ansiães, Murça, Vila Flor and MirandelaSampling
Sampling was based on plant inventories in permanent 50 m2 sampling plots, with production of a floristic list and quantitative assessment of the degree of coverage (in percentage) and density (number of individuals per meter square, in a semi-quantitative scale) of vascular plants. However, only the percentage cover was used in this dataset. The number of sampling plots varied along the study period: 129 in 2021; 88 in 2022 and 89 in 2023.Quality Control
