Description
The dataset comprises macrophyte (helophyte and hydrophyte) surveys of 35 ponds and 4 shallow extensions of a gravel pit. These were created as a habitat restoration measure on the Neu-Woerr and Silene study sites of the EMYS-R project.
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 838 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.

Project Data
Emys-R is a 3-year participatory transdisciplinary action-oriented research project based on seminal theories in humanities, social and natural sciences. It consolidates an existing international network of researchers and stakeholders from France, Germany, Latvia, Poland and Ukraine to share complementary knowledge and expertise on past, present and future wetlands, biodiversity and management. It aims at defining the most effective, socially-supported, ecological methods of wetland restoration in favour of the reintroduction of the European pond turtle Emys orbicularis, and for its associated biodiversity throughout Europe, based on all resources available from past and present programs of wetlands restoration and Emys reintroduction throughout Europe and long term monitoring on three study sites in France, Germany and Latvia.

| Funding | Emys-R (https://emysr.cnrs.fr) is funded through the 2020-2021 Biodiversa+ and Water JPI joint call for research projects, under the BiodivRestore ERA-NET Cofund (GA N°101003777), with the EU and the funding organizations Agence Nationale de la Recherche (ANR, France, grant ANR-21-BIRE-0005), Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung (BMBF, Germany, grant 16LW015), the State Education Development Agency (VIAA, Latvia, grant ES RTD/2022/2), and the National Science Center (NSC, Poland, grant 2021/03/Y/NZ8/00101). |
| Study Area Description | Emys-R operates on three study sites where EU-funded programs of wetland restoration and Emys reintroduction took place: France (Woerr, Lauterbourg), Germany (Neuburg am Rhein) and Latvia (Lake Sitas region, Silene). These sites show contrasting biophysical and socio-ecological contexts, providing ideal case studies to assess the common and specific processes involved in the ecological and sociological success of such conservation actions. |

Sampling Methods
For each pond or gravel pit extension the percentage cover of each macrophyte taxon was calculated from vegetation mapping and associated relevés.
| Study Extent | The dataset represents a summarized result of botanical releves of the studied territories conducted in 2022 and 2023. The Neu-Woerr site is located between Lauterbourg (France) and Neuburg am Rhein (Germany) in the former floodplain of the Rhine and the Silene site in Silene Nature Park (Latvia). |
