The data presented here comes from field observations, carried out between 2014 and 2017, as part of a LIFE research project aiming to preserve and restore three coastal wetlands of Praia da Vitória (Terceira Island, Azores, Portugal) (LIFE-CWR). A total of 23 vascular plant species surveys were carried out in three sites: one for each semester in Paul da Praia da Vitória (PPV) and Paul da Pedreira do Cabo da Praia (PPCP); one for each semester (except in 2014) in Paul do Belo Jardim (PBJ). Main objectives were to determine the plant richness of the three sites and monitor seasonal and between year variation on species composition.Sampling Description
Study Extent
This study covers a small coastal area with 3.58 km extension between PPV and PPCP.Sampling
At the three wetland sites, a total of 23 surveys were carried out for a total of 51 days of direct observation. Surveys took place (except for PBJ in 2014) every semester. Study areas were delimited using GPS and included the margins of the bodies of water and the surrounding terrestrial areas.Method steps
- On the data table were included all the records for which a taxonomic identification of the species was possible. The dataset submitted to GBIF is structured as a sample event dataset, with two tables: event (as core) and occurrences. The data in this sampling event resource has been published as a Darwin Core Archive (DwCA), which is a standardised format for sharing biodiversity data as a set of one or more data tables. The core data table contains 23 records. One extension data table also exists. An extension record supplies extra information about a core record. The number of records in each extension data table is illustrated in the IPT link. This IPT archives the data and thus serves as the data repository. The data and resource metadata are available for downloading in the downloads section. The versions table lists other versions of the resource that have been made publicly available and allows tracking changes made to the resource over time.
