EDP Baixo Sabor: Construction and Reservoir Filling Phases - Riparian Birds, priority conservation species: fixed points & complementary observations - [2010-2014]

Citation

Mota P, Gomes C, Zina H, Araújo P M, Oliveira C A, Marques S M, Mendes J D, Múrias T (2020). EDP Baixo Sabor: Construction and Reservoir Filling Phases - Riparian Birds, priority conservation species: fixed points & complementary observations - [2010-2014]. Version 1.1. EDP - Energias de Portugal. Sampling event dataset https://doi.org/10.15468/a6njzm accessed via GBIF.org on 2023-05-28.

Description

The dataset contains records of riparian bird species (Aves) of high conservation priority, collected in the lower valley of River Sabor (NE Portugal), in the scope of the long-term Ecological Monitoring Program (PME) of the Baixo Sabor Hydroelectric Dams (AHBS), promoted by EDP – Energias de Portugal, S.A. This dataset includes results of surveys made in and around the area affected by the dam, from February 2010 to September 2014. Data consists of observations of the target species (the Kingfisher and the Dipper) performed in fixed sampling points or transects directed to riparian birds, as well as additional observations. Observations came from all the study area around the Sabor river, from its mouth up to 42 km upstream. The presence and identity of bird species were assessed by visual and/or acoustic observation, with the support of binoculars. The records include taxa identified at the species level.

Purpose

This dataset is part of a broader initiative whereby the company EDP - Energias de Portugal S.A. will made available biodiversity data collected during impact assessment and biological monitoring studies.

Sampling Description

Study Extent

The data were collected within a 5-km buffer around the margins of the lower valley of river Sabor and its main tributaries, from the river mouth up to 42 km upstream, in the municipalities of Torre de Moncorvo, Alfândega da Fé, Mogadouro and Macedo de Cavaleiros.

Sampling

The dataset includes both systematic and non-systematic observations using binoculars made in the sampling points and transects used in the regular monitoring program of riparian birds, and in additional locations throughout the Sabor river sub-basin. The systematic observations followed the methodology used for the general censuses of the riparian birds. At each count point, a 10-minute count session was performed, in which all birds detected by sight or sound were recorded. Non-systematic observations were taken by opportunistic encounters with the target species. The identification was made "in loco", with appropriate field guides.

Quality Control

All individual identifications were performed by qualified technicians
