Description

The dataset contains co-occurrences of 488 occurrences of 171 species of vascular plants recorded from the “Voznesenska Asena” of Southern Bug river sand. The study area is located in the southern part of the steppe zone of Ukraine, in the Mykolaiv administrative Region. The Voznesensk arena of the Southern Buh sands is highly transformed. Almost all of its territory is occupied by artificial forest plantations, used as agricultural land, sand quarries, or built up. Floristic data were collected during the study of anthropogenic habitats in the Voznesensk. .The nomenclature of the dataset is as follows: “Ukrainian Plant Trait Database: UkrTrait v. 1.0” - (Vynokurov et al. 2024).

Data Records

The data in this occurrence 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 488 records.

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. 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.

Sampling Methods

Recording and identification of vascular plants with using road-field methods and VegApp.

Study Extent The dataset contains co-occurrences of vascular plants recorded during the investigation of biodiversity of anthropogenic habitats of the Voznesenska arena of sands of the Southern Buh. Artificial coniferous and deciduous plantations, dirt roads, orchards and vineyards, as well as fallow land in their place, bread fields, etc. were studied. The study area is located in the southern part of the steppe zone of Ukraine, in Mykolaiv administrative Region.
Quality Control This field represent a description of actions taken to either control or assess the quality of data resulting from the associated method steps The identification of vascular plant species was held with morphological methods at the field and in the Kherson State University Laboratory of Plant Ecology and Environmental Protection. The nomenclature of the dataset is as follows: “Ukrainian Plant Trait Database: UkrTrait v. 1.0” - (Vynokurov et al. 2024). Then we used GBIF Backbone Taxonomy (GBIF species matching tool: https://www.gbif.org/tools/species-lookup) for the taxonomic check and implemented minor corrections of species names regarding misprints and problematic taxa to avoid misinterpretation. Further habitat mapping was based on Maxar and CNES/Airbus DS maps in the QGis program (QGIS 2024). Coordinates of records were checked using Google Earth service. Data cleaning using OpenRefine and QGIS 3.22 (https://qgis.org) for quality control.

Method step description:

  1. Recording and identification of vascular plants
  2. Completing of list of flora and habitats
  3. Managment of coordinates
  4. Data post-processing according to the Darwin Core standards
  5. Data checking and cleaning in OpenRefine
