Description

This dataset is based on the 6th National Forest Inventory published by ICNF - Instituto de Conservação da Natureza e das Florestas. The data collection for this National Forest Inventory was obtained through aerial photography and ground surveys in 2015, to supply updated statistical and basic cartographic information for the evaluation and monitoring of the abundance, state and condition of the portuguese forest resources and to enable a sustainable forest management.

Sampling Description

Study Extent

This study is the 2015 National Forest Inventory for mainland Portugal.

Sampling

Data was collected through aerial ortho images, using grids that cover the whole continental Portugal, photo-points and points for field evaluation of vegetation parameters. All data was inserted in a specific database build for the project.

Quality Control

All initial data was inserted in a specific relational database built specifically for the project, which implemented several quality control methods. In the preparation of the dataset for GBIF publication, data consistency was verified using cluster algorithms using OpenRefine.

Method steps

Preparation of the dataset for GBIF publication used as source the geographic layer in shape file format obtained in: https://sig.icnf.pt/portal/home/item.html?id=dc60bcef20b844b88c8a0638d0fe943b http://si.icnf.pt/shp/ifn5_2005
convert of the the shape file to csv
create events and and occurrences omitting ones without described species. DarwinCore "event" with "occurence" and "recourceRelationship" extensions were used

Taxonomic Coverages

This dataset includes 387859 records referring to plant specimens of 7 families, 9 genera (Acacia, Castanea, Ceratonia, Eucalyptus, Olea, Oryza, Pinus, Quercus, Vitis) and 8 species.
