Description

Invasive plants in Luronium natans habitats in Flanders, Belgium is a sampling event dataset published by the Research Institute of Nature and Forest (INBO). This dataset contains invasive aquatic plants collected during a Luronium natans survey. Here it is published as a standardized Darwin Core Archive and includes for each sampling event an eventID, date, location and sampling protocol (in the event core) and for each occurrence an occurrenceID, the number of recorded individuals, status (present/absent) and scientific name (in the occurrence extension). Issues with the dataset can be reported at https://github.com/inbo/data-publication/issues

We have released this dataset to the public domain under a Creative Commons Zero waiver. We would appreciate it if you follow the GBIF citation guidelines (https://www.gbif.org/citation-guidelines) when using the data. If you have any questions regarding this dataset, don't hesitate to contact us via the contact information provided in the metadata or via https://twitter.com/trias_project.

Purpose

The dataset was published within the framework of the TrIAS project (Tracking Invasive Alien Species, Vanderhoeven et al. 2017 - http://trias-project.be) .The aim of TrIAS is to establish an open data framework to follow the progression of exotic species, identify emerging species, assess the risk and inform the IAS policies.

Sampling Description

Study Extent

Luronium natans is an amphibic species, present in both lentic and lotic waterbodies. Its actual range is restricted to the north-eastern part of Flanders. The publication occurrences of exotic aquatic plants in Luronim natans habitats will serve the monitoring of alien invasive species in Belgium. (TrIAS project)

Sampling

Vegetation recording is carried out during june-september for each site on different levels: * waterbody level: description of the waterbody, presence of macrophyte taxa in the waterbody * population of Luronium natans (data not provided) * permanent quadrant of 1 square meter in an abundant patch of Luronium natans (only recorded in 2008 & 2009; taxon occurrence and plot data (Braun Blanquet)

Quality Control

Data are collected by professionals ensuring the quality of the records.

Method steps

Data are collected in the field by specialized personnel.
A custom SQL view is created in the NBN database to map the original data to Darwin Core as an event core and occurrence extension.
The Darwin Core views are connected to the INBO IPT and documented with metadata.
The dataset is published and registered with GBIF.

Taxonomic Coverages
