Description
As part of the environmental monitoring conducted by the company, a study was carried out to assess the impact of the activities of the gas production department “Lvivhazvydobuvannia” on the flora and fauna of selected areas in the Ivano-Frankivsk region during the spring period.
The resulting dataset contains records of identified species of plants, animals, and fungi within the surveyed sites. These data were used to analyze biodiversity patterns and to develop recommendations aimed at reducing anthropogenic pressure on the region’s natural ecosystems.
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 274 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.

Sampling Methods
Field investigations were carried out during the spring season according to standardized biodiversity assessment protocols. Where possible, species of biota (animals, fungi, lichens, plants) were recorded through visual observations without removing them from their natural habitats, with photographic evidence taken when feasible. Birds were identified either visually or by their vocalizations. All observations were recorded in a field journal. Some animal species were registered based on indirect signs of presence such as droppings, feathers, tracks, shells, remains of exoskeletons, etc. A portion of specimens was collected for further laboratory examination.

---|---|
Quality Control | Species mapping was conducted using the WGS 84 projection system in QGIS software v. 3.10 (EPSG: 4326) with UTF-8 encoding. Coordinates were primarily recorded using a smartphone's GPS, while some points were manually refined using OpenTopoMap. The inventory of habitats under the Convention on the Conservation of European Wildlife and Natural Habitats (Bern Convention) was carried out in accordance with: Kraus, D., Bütler, R., Krumm, F., Lachat, T., Larrieu, L., Mergner, U., Paillet, Y., Rydkvist, T., Schuck, A., and Winter, S. (2016). Catalogue of tree microhabitats – Reference field list. Integrate+ Technical Paper. 16p. |
