Details
This research was carried out by INBO under its previous name (the Institute for Nature Conservation, in Dutch ‘het Instituut voor Natuurbehoud’), to provide an overview of the flora and vegetation in the alluvial areas within the dykes of the Upper Zeeschelde. 20 areas were inventoried.
This data comes from INBOVEG, the INBO vegetation record database (also part of the "Global Index of Vegetation-plot databases" and the "European Vegetation Archive"). The GBIF dataset is the same as the data in INBOVeg. The relevant identification code is 'IV2014062312153090'.
This dataset has been previously published on GBIF as part of the FLORABANK1 bulkdata publication (https://doi.org/10.3897/phytokeys.12.2849) at either a 1 km² or a 4 km² scale, here it is published with specific locations (with 17.5m² uncertainty). No coordinate uncertainty was noted in the report, so this is an estimate based on the plot sizes.
In the data, under 'Occurrence remarks', the vegetation layer is noted. All records were collected by trained experts. Details of the sampling protocol are given in the associated report: Van Den Balck, E., Hoffmann, M., & Meire, P. (1998). De terrestrische flora en vegetatie van het niet-getijbeïnvloede deel van het alluvium van de Zeeschelde. (Rapporten van het instituut voor natuurbehoud; Vol. 10). Instituut voor Natuurbehoud.
