Description

Occurrence data was obtained from 142 researchers, represented by research organizations from all over Ukraine, and collected in the collection of scientific papers "Modern studies of rare biodiversity in Ukraine (2025)". All the information collected in the dataset was prepared and organized by the reviewers of the collection "Modern studies of rare biodiversity in Ukraine (2025)". It is also planned to publish a printed version of these materials, but publishing has been postponed due to the start of the Russian-Ukrainian war.
