Descripción
This dataset contains 178 occurrences of 79 vascular plants species of Nechayeva Mohyla Kurgan flora. This is the highest Scythian mound in the steppe zone of Eurasia. Its current dimensions are approximately 15 meters in height, 110–120 meters in diameter, and 300–320 meters in circumference. The kurgan dates back to the 6th century BC and holds the status of a national archaeological monument. The kurgan is situated 4 km northeast of the village of Lebedynske, in the Nikopol district of the Dnipropetrovsk region, on a watershed plateau at the upper reaches of the Solona, Tomakivka, and Kamyshuvata Sura rivers. Historically, the kurgan was utilized by the Zaporizhian Cossacks as a guard post. In the 19th century, it was named after the landowners Nechayev and Hegelyn, who owned the surrounding territories. During the winter of 1943–1944, the kurgan served as a stronghold for German forces. At that time the top of the mound was removed, and the embankment was fortified with dugouts, firing positions, trenches, and communication passages. Archaeological finds in the vicinity of the kurgan include fragments of ancient Greek amphorae. In recent years, the kurgan has suffered damage due to illegal excavations conducted by unknown individuals in 2018 and 2024, presumably for the purpose of looting. At the base of the mound, a memorial to Soviet soldiers has been installed. Additionally, a metal staircase was constructed on the northern side, leading to the top, where a state triangulation marker has been placed.

Métodos de muestreo
The research was conducted on May 20, 2024. To describe the vegetation, Kurgan was divided into five biotopes: the top, the northern and southern slopes, and the northern and southern bottoms. For each species, its abundance was noted using a five-point scale: I - rare, II - occasional, III - frequent, IV - common, and V - abundant.
| Área de Estudio | The dataset contains the co-distribution of vascular plants of Nechayeva Mohyla Kurgan. The study area is located in the Dnipropetrщvsk Region, Nikopol district, near Lebedynske village. This area is situated in a strip of mixed grass-cereal steppes among agricultural fields. Next to the Kurgan, there is a memorial to the victims of World War II and another smaller kurgan. |
|---|---|
| Control de Calidad | Some specimens of the vascular plants were collected as herbarium for determination and verification after the fieldwork. After digitizing the data, we harmonised the taxonomic information according to the nomenclature sources: for vascular plants 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. We additionally checked and verified the header data using OpenRefine (https://openrefine.org/), and QGIS 3.38 (https://qgis.org) for quality control. |
