Description

This dataset is created and maintained by Dr. Andriy Novikov from the State Museum of Natural History of the NAS of Ukraine. This dataset gathers all available data (mostly obtained from the preserved herbarium material) on the distribution of the endemic vascular plants in the Ukrainian Carpathians and adjacent territories. This dataset is created in frames of mapping the distribution of the endemic plants and will be compiled with coordinates and English locality translations during further updates. To avoid data duplication, this dataset does not include the endemic representatives of the genus Aconitum that are part of another dataset (https://doi.org/10.15468/n37j8x) published before.

Sampling Description

Study Extent

All reports and specimens of the endemic vascular plants collected from the Ukrainian Carpathians in 1800-2000th are applied to create this dataset.

Sampling

The data are extracted mostly from the herbarium labels and research publications. In certain cases, data were also gathered from the card indexes (e.g., Karel Domin's Card Index) and other related scientific sources.

Quality Control

The taxonomy, in general, corresponds to the POWO checklist but has minor corrections regarding problematic taxa. The quality of data is manually controlled and verified, taking into account the research expertise of Andriy Novikov, and also controlled through automatic procedures (e.g., OpenRefine).

Method steps

1. Taking photos of herbarium labels; 2. Reidentification of taxa following recent taxonomy; 3. Extracting the locality, collector, date, and other relevant (e.g., identification history) information from the labels; 4. Translation of the primary label information from non-Romanian languages (i.e., Ukrainian and Russian) to English; 5. Georeferencing and verification of localities using recent and antique maps; 6. Quality check applying OpenRefine and QGIS (for outlets and coordinates mistakes).
