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 3,496 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.

Geographic Coverage

Ribera Occidental de Navarra region (NE Iberian Peninsula, Spain) was selected to perform this PhD project, covering about 1300 km2. It is a region located in the SW of the province of Navarra (Spain), in the river Ebro basin. Its geographic coordinates vary from 42º40’N (Puente la Reina) to 42º13’N (Milagro), and from 2º25’W (Logroño) to 1º40’W (Olite). Country: Spain. Province: Navarra (N Spain). Region: Ribera Occidental de Navarra (SW Navarra).

Taxonomic Coverage

Out of a total of 3496 specimens, 3296 were identified to species or subspecies level. They belong to 959 species or subspecies and 95 families of vascular plants.

Temporal Coverage

Project Data

The vascular flora of Ribera Occidental de Navarra (NE Iberian Peninsula, Spain) was assessed and distribution maps of the species were built and analyzed.

Sampling Methods

Intensive field studies were made during the 1980-1989 growing seasons when specimens were collected in their characteristic habitats. A comprehensive floristic list for the region was compiled.

Method step description:

1. Selection and collection of specimens in the field
2. Specimens were dried and pressed for conservation using standard protocols. Vouchers were deposited in the herbarium of the University of Navarra.
3. Identification to species or subspecies level using morphological characters. Identification was performed between 1982 and 1990 by L. Garde and M.L. López using Flora europaea (Tutin et al. 1964-1980) and Flora iberica (Castroviejo et al. 1986-1990, volumes 1 and 2).
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 1986-2010).
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/).
