Description

The dataset includes 582 records of plant species, 27 releves of biotopes and locations of individual species from the National Nature Park “Svyati Hory”, situated in the Donetsk region, Ukraine. National Nature Park "Svyati Gory" is distinguished by its floral and vegetational richness. A significant part of the park is the valley of the Seversky Donets River. The chalk mountains are situated on the right bank of the river, on which rare plant species grow, and relict chalk pine forests are represented.

Data Records

The data in this sampling event 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 27 records.

2 extension data tables also exist. An extension record supplies extra information about a core record. The number of records in each extension data table is illustrated below.

Project Data

The project is aimed on collecting, digitalization and preservation of data on biodiversity records in Ukraine.

Title Preservation of Scientific Heritage of Nature Reserves and National Parks Affected by the War
Identifier 09-12-2024
Funding The project was implemented by the Ukrainian Nature Conservation Group with the support of the Goethe-Institut Ukraine, part of the Embassy of the Federal Republic of Germany in Ukraine

Sampling Methods

We studied the vegetation and flora of the National Nature Park "Svyati Gory". Most of the releves are represented by forest plant communities, including forests of floodplain, pine terrace, and chalk slopes. Some records include points of the individual species of steppe, chalk outcrops, and shrub plant communities, carrying out the releves. The distribution of the species points was recorded using a Garmin GPSMAP 60CSx navigator.

Study Extent National Nature Park "Svyati Hory" is located in the steppe zone, on the right and left banks of the Siverskiy Donets River, Siverskiy Donets tributary valleys, watersheds of the Siverskyi Donets and Makatykha rivers. The national nature park area covers forests and chalk slopes on the right bank of the Siverskiy Donets River, the floodplain and pine terrace of the left bank, and surrounding areas. National nature park "Svyati Hory" is located in the northern part of Donetsk region, in Kramatorsk and Bakhmut districts. The total area of the national nature park is 40,589 hectares.
Quality Control The authors of the dataset are fully responsible for the quality of data provided in it.

Method step description:

  1. Conducting of botanical releves.
  2. Species identification.
  3. Georeferencing.
  4. Organising of the dataset according to the Darwin Core standards.
