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 1,211 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.

Temporal Coverage

Project Data

The recovery of vascular plants was assessed 6-7 years after a fire event occurred in 1994 in a mixed Quercus ilex subsp. ballota- Q. faginea forest. The forest is located in the south slope of sierra Costalera (Nazar, Navarra, northern Spain). Four area types were surveyed in the study: non-disturbed forest, cleared forest, burned forest and burned grassland. The most relevant families were Compositae, Gramineae, Leguminosae and Labiatae. Disturbed areas were more species rich than non-disturbed ones. Leguminosae, Gramineae and Compositae were also more frequent in disturbed areas.

Sampling Methods

Samples were collected between the years 1998 and 2001 in eight permanent plots of 10 m x 10 m with different treatments: non-disturbed forest, cleared forest, burned forest and burned grassland.

Method step description:

1. Plant collection. Plant vouchers were selected and collected in the field.
2. Identification to species or subspecies level. Identification was performed between 2003 and 2009 by L. Alberdi and R.Y. Cavero using Flora europaea (Tutin et al. 1964-1980), Flora iberica (Castroviejo et al. 1986-2015) and Flora del País Vasco y territorios limítrofes (Aizpuru et al. 1999).
3. Plant conservation. Specimens were dried and pressed for conservation using standard protocols. Vouchers were deposited in the herbarium of the University of Navarra.
4. Numbering and digitization of vouchers. From 2012 to date, each specimen was labelled, with a unique collection number, and digitized, using HERBAR software (v3.7.1 Pando et al. 1994-2010).
5. Nomenclature was updated using Flora iberica (Castroviejo 1986-2015).
6. Names of municipalities, localities and place names were updated according to Toponimia Oficial de Navarra (http://toponimianavarra.tracasa.es/).
7. Localities were georeferenced using x- and y- UTM coordinates. Uncertainty was also assigned.
8. Coordinates, characters and format of dates were checked for possible mistakes using Darwin test software (v3.3, Ortega-Maqueda & Pando 2008). This software also allowed the data to fulfil the Darwin Core Standard (Wieczorek et al. 2012).
9. Metadata were documented and the dataset was published in the GBIF data portal using the Integrated Publishing Toolkit (IPT v2.3.5) of GBIF.es (http://ipt.gbif.es/).
