Description
The dataset includes records of 317 species of vascular plants and cryptogam species of the Chernivtsi, Ivano-Frankivsk, Khmel'nytskyi, Odessa and Vinnytsia administrative regions of Ukraine. These species (mainly vascular plants, succulents, graminoids, mosses and lichens) occur on calcareous bedrocks of Western, Central, and South Ukraine.
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 1,416 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
We have sampled 54 phytosociological relevés with a uniform plot size of 10 m² using Braun-Blanquet approach (Braun-Blanquet 1964) with the modification of EDGG methodology which we personally collected from Ukraine (Chernivtsi, Zakarpattia, Khmel'nyts'kyi, Odesa, Vinnytsia, Ivano-Frankivs'k and Ternopil administrative regions of Ukraine) in 2021 with specific vascular plants, bryophytes and epigeic lichens. Geographical locations were indicated by GPS-navigator in decimal degrees according to the WGS84 system. The nomenclature for the vascular plant species is according to the Euro+Med Database checklist (http://www.emplantbase.org), while bryophytes are according to Boiko (2008), and lichens are according to Kondratiuk (1998).
| Study Extent | The dataset shows the flora content that was identified during creation of geobotanical descriptions in expeditions organized in 2021. We cooperated with Iryna Dmytrash-Vatseba (Ivano-Frankivsk region), Yakiv Didukh, Illia Chornei (Chernivtsi region), Olena Yavorska (Vinnytsia region). A total number of 317 species was identified. This dataset was prepared (correctly organized according to Darwin Core standards) and published with the help of the project "Preservation of data on biodiversity of Ukraine during the Russian occupation" funded by "Documenting Ukraine" initiative. The initiative is financed by the Institute for Human Sciences in Vienna (https://www.iwm.at/). |
