Description

Multi-taxa structured surveillance of ponds, including species and habitat data.

Purpose

PondNet is a national monitoring network of ponds to understand trends in widespread, localised and restricted pond species and pond quality. Surveys are based on structured surveillance using standardised methodologies agreed with national species monitoring organisations (e.g. NARRS - amphibians, BDS - dragonflies, PSYM - invertebrate and plants, etc.). Ponds were selected based on a stratified random sample in addition to self-selected sites.

Sampling Description

Quality Control

Data have been entered by volunteers and checked using NBN Record Cleaner. As a result location data has been checked and confirmed by project staff. Data were collected as part of a trial and a proportion were analysed for accuracy against QA data.

Method steps

  1. Records were entered by volunteers into an Indicia portal designed for the PondNet project. The dataset has been verified.

Taxonomic Coverages

Geographic Coverages

This dataset includes records collected during trials 2012-2014 in Hampshire, Cheshire, Sussex and Yorkshire.
