In 2017 it was re-launched as a collaborative database associated with the Eurasian Dry Grassland Group (EDGG). GrassPlot collects vegetation-plot data of grasslands in the widest sense (i.e. everything except forests, tall shrublands, aquatic and segetal communities) from the Palaearctic biogeographic realm (i.e. Europe, North Africa, West, Central, North and Northeast Asia). With respect to sampling methodology, GrassPlot is more restrictive than typical vegetation-plot databases. It only includes data of plots with one of our eight standard grain sizes: 0.0001, 0.001 (or 0.0009), 0.01, 0.1 (or 0.09), 1, 10 (or 9) 100, 1,000 (or 900 or 1,024) m². However, we also allow deviations up to 10% from these grain sizes, e.g. 9 m² instead of 10 m². Nested-plot series with at least four different grain sizes are also included; for the latter, any grain size is allowed. Plots must have been precisely delimited in the field (e.g. with a tape around the perimeter or with frames for smaller sizes) and thoroughly been sampled at least for vascular plants, but preferentially also for terricolous bryophytes and lichens. GrassPlot accepts (i) pure richness data (together with the required metadata) or (ii) complete vegetation plots (compositional data), i.e. species identities with presence-absence, cover, abundance or any other measure of dominance. according to a specific agreement18702falsetruefalse00010.7809/b-e.00115Dengler, J.

Such a knowledge will be a good base and help for a sustainable management of forests in Turkey. It would also be a good contribution for understanding the biological diversity in a larger geographical scale since Turkey, which a bridge between Europe an Asia, is covered by many different forest types representing the three main phytogeographical regions : Euro-Siberia, Mediterranean and Irano-Turanian.according to a specific agreement869truetruefalse000Kavgac?, A., Arslan, M., Bingöl, Ü., Erdogan, N.

Sampling aims at covering all major vegetation types present in the basin. Additionally, detailed investigations are carried out at four research areas sized 100 km2. Vegetation plots are sized 20 m × 50 m with a 10 m × 10 m plot nesting in the centre. Grassland and wetland plots are in many cases sized 10 m × 10 m. On every plot all vascular plants species present including their estimated projected cover were recorded. Currently, the database holds vegetation-plots from semi-humid to semi-arid tropical woodlands (Miombo woodlands, Baikiaea-Burkea woodlands, Colophospermum mopane woodlands, and Thornbush savanna) as well as from geoxylic grasslands and Cyperaceae dominated wetlands of the Angolan Central Plateau. So far no plots of the wetlands of the Okavango Delta have been included but contributions from other researchers are welcome.according to a specific agreement404falsetruefalse000Figueiredo E. & Smith G.F.

To select sites that confirm to the idea of old-growth savannas (Veldman et al. 2015; Frontiers in Ecology & the Environment, 13), we ensured that: a) Sites were free from exogenous anthropogenic disturbances (e. g. tillage agriculture, mining, settlements), as verified from either historical Google Earth imagery or a recently published map that identifies extant savannas by filtering exogenous disturbances (Madhusudan & Vanak 2022; Journal of Biogeography, 49) or communicating with botanists who know the land use history, b) Sites were grazed and/or burnt (i.e., intact endogenous disturbances; Buisson et al. 2019; Biological Reviews, 94), c) Sites had minimal (<10%) exotic invasive species. We sampled 15 old-growth savanna sites, and each site had three 20 meter long transects, and each transect with seven 1 sq m quadrats. Thus each of the 315 releves has a unique combination of site x transect x quadrat. In each quadrat (releve), the herbaceous layer (plants with height < 1.5m) was sampled by visual estimatives of the percentage cover of every species in every plot (modified Brau-Blanquet % cover scale).

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.according to a specific agreement396falsetruefalse00010.7809/b-e.00111De Sanctis M., Adeeb A., Farcomeni A., Patriarca C., Saed A., Attorre F., 2011.

It is free online. This new derivative holds approximately 20,000 plot-based vegetation quantitative records (phytosociological relevés) identifiable at the site level for different types of Australian ecological communities. These data are integrated from different vegetation monitoring programs across Australia and have been collected using a variety of plot-based methods. TERN therefore recommends users read the site metadata in AEKOS (www.aekos.org.au) for data transparency as AEKOS is the gateway to Australian ecology data. It's availability is restricted in GIVD. The original subset provided by TERN included vegetation records from the following Australian surveys published in AEKOS in 2014: Australian Ground Cover Reference Sites Database, Biological Survey of South Australia - Vegetation Survey - Biological Database of South Australia, Atlas of NSW database: VIS flora survey module, Queensland CORVEG Database, TERN AusPlots Rangelands, TERN ATN Transect for Environmental Monitoring and Decision Making (TREND) transect surveys, AusCover Supersites SLATS Star Transects, Biological Survey of the Ravensthorpe Range (Western Australia).AEKOS's vegetation plot data was extracted using the portal's download feature to obtain the full extent of available data for the all datasets. In addition, an average cover value was calculated for each site using a slight modification of the ingestion scripts normally used to ingest the source data into AEKOS. The altitude values derived from a map layer using the site coordinates were obtained from the AEKOS index. Finally, land use and vegetation type were derived from map layers using the site coordinates. These data were loaded in different tables of a PostgreSQL database. Subsequently, two SQL queries were built to centralise the available data in two tables: table r_site containing the site specific data and table r_speciesobservations containing the individual data on observed specimen. A PostgreSQL backup file containing these two table was then built using the pg_dump tool. These data were further subsetted and parsed with a global plant taxonomy by i-DIV. All sampling methods use plot-based methods such as quadrats, releves and other scientific methods. More details on the collections methods for each data source are available in AEKOS.according to a specific agreement22000falsetruefalse000BenSparrowben.sparrow@adelaide.edu.au3TERNThe University of AdelaideL12-Schulz Blg, North Terrace5005AdelaideAustraliaSiddeswaraGurus.guru@uq.edu.au1TERNUniversity of QueenslandGoddard Building4072St LuciaAustraliaAU99AU-AU-003SPINFOVegetation plot from eastern AustraliaCovering 20 years of data collection primarily full vascular floristic plot based with cover abundance recording.

Typical vegetation types of the Low Arctic shrub zone (Bioclimate Subzone E, cf. CAVM Team 2003) in the Søndre Strømfjord region, West Greenland, were studied from the lowlands up to 1330 m a.s.l. The main research efforts focused on differentiations between flora and vegetation characteristics along the altitudinal gradient. Indicator species and communities that allow a distinction of different altitudinal vegetation belts were identified. All habitats along a toposequence with different moisture and shelter conditions were regarded. free online664falsetruefalse000Drees B, Daniëls FJA. 2009.

These grasslands have been used for livestock production and frequent fires are used for pasture management. We delimited a region of 18,667 km2 with 41% of grasslands remnants to conduct a floristic survey in 320 one square meter plots, placed using a random stratified sampling considering climate, soil, aspect and relief gradients. Only grassland formation was considered in the survey and all plots were placed on natural grasslands. Only vascular plants were recorded. The cover scale corresponds to % cover (from 0 to 100). Internal subplots with 0.25 m² were used to estimate species cover data. Additional species in the 1 m² plot were assigned with a low cover value of 0.5%.

This network was named COLTREE. The network includes all most all Colombian biogeographic regions such as Andean mountains, Magdalena valley, Caribbean Coast, Amazonia, Orinoquía and Chocó Region. Our goal is to establish a network of temporary and permanent plots for the study of diversity, structure and dynamics of forests in Colombia. The specific objectives of the COLTREE Network are 1) to analyze tree species richness, composition and distributional patterns; 2) to quantify the mortality and recruitment rates as well as changes in basal area, biomass and carbon storage; 3) to evaluate hypotheses related with drivers of forest structure and dynamics such as energy-diversity or water availability; and 4) to contribute towards explaining the relationship between primary net productivity, tree mortality and biomass. Some of our parcels are included in other networks for the study of tropical forests like the Amazon Forest Inventory Network - RAINFOR (www.rainfor.org) where work is based on the database ForestPlots (www.forestplots.net). Currently the database Col-Tree contains information of large trees (DBH> = 10cm) in plots between 0.25 and 1 ha, of 150 locations in Colombia. Aditionally we are working to include forest plots with information from other groups of vascular plants (shrubs, vines, grasses, ferns, etc. ) and non-vascular plants (bryophytes), in about 1000 sites widely distributed in Colombia.according to a specific agreement150falsetruefalse01500notGonzález-Caro, S., Umaña, M.
