Description

The dataset contains data from the results of synchronous records of birds in the wetlands of the Azov-Black Sea region in August 2021. The records were carried out within the framework of the Regional Ornithological Monitoring Program (ROM), information about which is presented on the website https://www.izan.kiev.ua/rom/. August records within the framework of this Program are held once every three years and are coordinated by the Azov-Black Sea Ornithological Station. A total of 41 wetlands were surveyed in 2021, of which 20 are sites of international importance (Ramsar sites). Accounting at all wetlands was carried out according to a single standard methodology. The dataset contains 1750 records for 100 species of wetland birds.

Data Records

The data in this sampling event resource has been published as a Darwin Core Archive (DwC-A), which is a standardized format for sharing biodiversity data as a set of one or more data tables. The core data table contains 51 records.

1 extension data tables also exist. An extension record supplies extra information about a core record. The number of records in each extension data table is illustrated below.

1750

This IPT archives the data and thus serves as the data repository. The data and resource metadata are available for download in the downloads section.

Project Data

With the help of the project two more publishers from Ukraine were registered. This means that despite rocket attacks, close to the front line, lack of light... Lviv, Kharkiv, Odesa and Melitopol continue to work on publication of scientific archives of the West-Ukrainian Ornithological Society and Azov-Black Sea Ornithological Working Group. Both organizations registered with GBIF and our operators have already handed over the first sets data for publication. And this means that more than 10,000 verified records of bird registrations will appear with open access.

Sampling Methods

The basic method was the absolute recording of birds in well-observed areas (sectors) of wetlands and adjacent land. The water areas of small reservoirs were completely surveyed from the shore, large ones - from water transport. All birds associated with these wetlands, including those flying over it, were taken into account. Counting was carried out from an optimal distance that did not allow birds to be alarmed and, at the same time, allowed the observer to accurately determine their species and number. Linear accounting transects were carried out only in solid reed thickets, swampy floodplain forests, floodplain meadows overgrown with shrubs and other areas where a survey of the entire water area or territory was impossible. Observations were carried out with the help of 10-12x binoculars and 30-60x telescopes, photography was carried out whenever possible. Some authors used drones in hard-to-reach places, which is indicated in the samplingProtocol field. In case of an incomplete survey of the entire wetland, the authors of the observations displayed the surveyed territory on the map. Detailed information about methods is on https://www.izan.kiev.ua/rom/methods.htm The coordinates of the plot center were determined in the free software QGIS, version 3.4. Only the numbers and coordinates for large clusters in Central Syvash and Molochnyj Lyman are indicated separately. The nomenclature follows the Catalog of Life.

Study Extent	The data is given in total for the entire wetland. The coordinates of the centroid of the wetland or the area of the wetland are indicated as standard coordinates in the dataset table. In the coordinateUncertaintyInMeters field, the largest distance from the center of the plot to its borders is indicated.
Quality Control	The authors of the dataset are fully responsible for the quality of the published data.

Method step description:

Conducting of a field survey within the previousely chosen plot/wetland/land area according to the standard method.
Counting of the birds with simultaneous identification of species.
Creating maps of the records made.
Georeferencing and creating of the lists of registered species and specimens.
Organizing of the dataset according to the DarwinCore standards.
