Description

The dataset was collected in the framework of the project "Grassland habitats of Ukraine of pan-European importance: current status, losses and conservation strategy in the context of global climate change and anthropogenic transformation of the environment" with the support of the National Research Foundation of Ukraine (project N 2020.01/0140).

Sampling Description

Study Extent

The dataset was collected in the framework of the project "Grassland habitats of Ukraine of pan-European importance: current status, losses and conservation strategy in the context of global climate change and anthropogenic transformation of the environment" with the support of the National Research Foundation of Ukraine (project N 2020.01/0140). This dataset was prepared (correctly organized according to Darwin Core standards) and published with the help of the project "Preservation of data on biodiversity of Ukraine during the Russian occupation" funded by "Documenting Ukraine" initiative. The initiative is financed by the Institute for Human Sciences in Vienna (https://www.iwm.at/).

Sampling

Data were collected during the 2021 field season. The dataset includes records of all species of vascular plants, bryophytes and lichens within the sampling plots. Completeness of species composition was ensured by using the “biodiversity plots” method in a series of nested plots of seven sizes: 1 cm²; 10 cm², 100 cm², 1000 cm², 1 m², 10 m² and 100 m². Sampling plots were selected to correspond to EUNIS grassland habitats (R group). Data collection was performed in the following EUNIS habitat types: R12, R13, R16, R1A, R1M, R1P, R1Q, R21, R22, R23, R35, R36, R37, R41, R43, R44, R51, R55, R56, R62, R63, R64, R65. Samplings were performed in Kyiv, Vinnytsia, Khmel'nyts'kyi, Chernivtsi, Ivano-Frankivs'k, Zakarpattia, Volyn, Rivne, Kherson and Mykolaiv oblasts.

Quality Control

The authors are fully responsible for the quality of data provided within the published dataset.

Method steps

Identifying of potential areas that might be suitable for studying of grassland habitats.
Conducting of field research during expedition trips, attended by groups of experienced botanists.
Georeferencing of the chosen monitoring plots and records of species.
Identifying of species composition ensured by using the “biodiversity plots” method.
Additional species identification in labs.
Creating of dataset using Turboveg software.
Creating of dataset according to Darwin Core standards.
