Name of the Database:
The title of your database. Please choose a name that is meaningful and understandable in a global context. Potentially accompanied by an acronym.
(required field)
Subtitle:
(fact sheet)
Optionally, you can provide an explanatory subtitle, which is not considered as part of the proper name of the database and thus is not capitalised. Subtitles are strongly recommended in cases when the proper name does not clearly indicate the scope of the database in terms of geography and and included vegetation types.

Scope
(fact sheet)
In the framework of the Socotra Conservation and Development Programme funded by GEF-UNDP, the DGCS (Italian Development Cooperation) and the Government of Yemen the study of the vegetation of Socotra Island has been carried out. The Socotra vegetation database contains 396 relevés (including 500 species). Phytosociological investigation was performed according to the Zurich-Montpellier methods. The location of the relevé was selected in relation to the homogeneity of physical features, vegetation structure and species dominance. According to these criteria forest, woodland, shrubland, grassland and halophytic communities along the whole altitudinal gradient and all the different geological substrata of the Island were sampled. Plot sizes ranged from 200m2 to 4m2 depending on the plant community. Cover/abundance data for all vascular plants were recorded in the field using the Braun-Blanquet scale. The database was created in TURBOVEG. A classification analysis was performed to identify the main vegetation communities of the Islands and the results are included in the database.
A concise verbal outline which kind of data are collected (i.e. criteria for inclusion)
Abstract
(fact sheet)
The Socotra archipelago is located 380 km south of the Arabian Peninsula (Yemen), and 230 km east of Horn of Africa (Somalia), in the Indian Ocean. It is of continental origin its long (15-30 Myr ago) geographical isolation is responsible for the high level of endemism: Socotra archipelago hosts 837 species of vascular plants, of which 308 (37%) are endemic. Socotra is characterized by an undulating plateau, with altitude ranging from 300 to 900 m a.s.l. This plateau is composed of thin strata of limestone overlying igneous and metamorphic basement, which is exposed in three areas. The most scenic of these are the peaks of the Haghier Mountains, which rise up to 1500 m, the summit of the island. On the coastal plains and in the inner depressions, Quaternary and recent deposits of marine, fluvial and continental origin overlie the older substrata. The island lies on the margin of the sub-equatorial and northern tropical climate belts. The local climate is influenced by the seasonally reversing monsoon: the NE (winter) monsoon, and the SW (Indian or summer) monsoon. In the framework of the Socotra Conservation and Development Programme funded by GEF-UNDP, the DGCS (Italian Development Cooperation) and the Government of Yemen the study of the vegetation of Socotra Island has been carried out. The Socotra vegetation database contains 396 relevés (including 500 species). Ten percent of the relevés comes from the scientific literature; the remaining 90% have been collected by the authors during several field campaigns carried out between 2007 and 2010. Phytosociological investigation was performed according to the Zurich-Montpellier methods. The location of the relevé was selected in relation to the homogeneity of physical features, vegetation structure and species dominance. According to these criteria forest, woodland, shrubland, grassland and halophytic communities were sampled. Plot sizes ranged from 200m2 to 4m2 depending on the plant community. Cover/abundance data for all vascular plants were recorded in the field using the Braun-Blanquet scale. The database was created in TURBOVEG. A classification analysis was performed to identify the main vegetation communities of the Islands and the results are included in the database.

State of the database.
planned
: There are concrete plans to establish a database of the given scope, but no vegetation-plots are included so far. This category allows the announcement of projects in order to facilitate research cooperation and avoid double work.
emerging
: The database exists in a preliminary version (e.g. reduced functionality or in a database system deviating from the one planned for the final database) and contains only few vegetation-plots so far.
ongoing capture
: The database is fully functional and data are added continuously, but only a fraction of the data within the scope is captured so far.
completed and continuing
: The database is fully functional and the vast majority of past data within the scope have already been captured; now basically only newly made vegetation-plots are added.
finished
: The database is available but there are no longer activities to add further data. "
