Description
This dataset contains 808 occurrences of 321 vascular plant taxa recorded in 2024 in eight different natural areas on the territory of Obolonska Rural Municipality (Central Ukraine). The locations sampled represent diverse types of natural ecosystems, including four plots of salt grasslands, two wetland plots, one natural oak forest, and one artificial pine forest. In order to ensure the continued biological diversity of these areas, it is intended that new protected areas will be established. The nomenclature of the dataset follows “POWO (POWO, 2024). Expedition and field research organized by Ukrainian Nature Conservation Group (UNCG).
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 808 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
This dataset was prepared as part of a study of the Obolon Rural Territorial Community to identify valuable natural areas in need of protection. A total of eight plots of different sizes were surveyed, including: four plots of salt grasslands, two wetland plots, one natural oak forest, and one artificial pine forest. For each site, a list of vascular plant species was compiled using the Vegapp app (S. Schmidtlein, www.vegapp.de). Vegapp is an Android app for collecting vegetation data in sample plots. Particular attention was paid to the distribution of protected species. For each species, the frequency of occurrence was assessed on a five-point scale.
| Study Extent | The dataset contains the locations of vascular plants recorded during 2024 in Central Ukraine in the Forest-Steppe zone. The study area is located in the floodplain of the Sula River and nearby areas to the east, including the Obolon Astroblem (meteorite crater). This area belongs to the Obolonska rural territorial community of Kremenchuk district, Poltava region. |
|---|---|
| Quality Control | 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 - POWO (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 data using OpenRefine (https://openrefine.org/), and QGIS 3.22 (https://qgis.org) for quality control. |
