The dataset focuses on the biodiversity of old parks created in the 18th and 20th centuries and old forests that have survived to the present day. For the first time, the complete species lists of the vascular plants (dendroflora and herbaceous plants) in the 4 old natural forests near Kuryachi Lozy, Kuripchino (Mimrykov Forest) and on the Kinburn Peninsula (Volyzhyn Forest, Komendantske), for 16 artificial forests - Volodymyrivska Dacha, Dubova Balka, Katerynka, Korabelne, Labirynt, Vasyleva Pasika and 9 parks in Voznesensk (Maryin Gay), Kuryachi Lozy (Pidgirsky Park), Mostove (Erdeli Park), Pervomaysk (Druzhby Narodiv Park), Bratske (Zhyvkovich Park), Svyatomykolayivka (Staryi Park), Shaslyve (Tropinykh Park), Mykolayiv (Lisky). The species composition of their dendroflora (138 species) and herbaceous plants (633 species), mosses (50 species) and lichens with lichenicolous fungi (126 species) has been covered for the first time. Particular attention is paid to the inventory of old trees that grow in the Mykolaev region. For 126 old trees, information is provided on cores taken from them with a Pressler drill, which show the age of these trees. 142 dendronims of old trees with main its characters in Mykolayiv region are provided.Sampling Description
Study Extent
Locality of the ancient parks of the Mykolaiv region (Ukraine) in 4 old natural forests near Kuryachi Lozy, Kuripchino (Mimrykov Forest) and on the Kinburn Peninsula (Volyzhyn Forest, Komendantske), for 16 artificial forests - Volodymyrivska Dacha, Dubova Balka, Katerynka, Korabelne, Labirynt, Vasyleva Pasika and 9 parks in Voznesensk (Maryin Gay), Kuryachi Lozy (Pidgirsky Park), Mostove (Erdeli Park), Pervomaysk (Druzhby Narodiv Park), Bratske (Zhyvkovich Park), Svyatomykolayivka (Staryi Park), Shaslyve (Tropinykh Park), Mykolayiv (Lisky).Sampling
Recording and identification of vascular plants using roadside methods Tree diameters were measured at a height of 1 m 30 cm using a tape measure. Tree height was determined using a handheld height meter. The ages of 126 trees were determined based on cores. To obtain cores, we used Pressler's hardwood and softwood borers. The cambial age of trees in 2018 was determined according to (Sweingruber, 1996). The age was determined as the arithmetic mean of several estimated tree ages from different cores. Unfortunately, not all trees could be analyzed by drilling, so the age of such old trees was determined from growth tables with statistical significance. We also used historical data related to the time of planting, and data on the growth rate in thickness.Quality Control
The identification of vascular plant and cryptogams were held with morphological methods at the field and in the Kherson State University Laboitem-0ratory of Plant Ecology and Environmental Protection. Coordinates of records were checked using Google Earth service. Data cleaning using OpenRefine.Method steps
- Searching of old parks in Mykolaiv Region.
- Measurement of old trees.
- Recording and identification of vascular plants and cryptogams.
- Management of coordinates.
- Data post-processing according to the Darwin Core standards.
- Data checking and cleaning in Open Refine.
