Census of tapia forest plant species in central highland of Madagascar

Citation

Randriambanona H (2017). Census of tapia forest plant species in central highland of Madagascar. Version 1.2. Centre National de Recherches sur l'Environnement. Occurrence dataset https://doi.org/10.15468/ymlzfh accessed via GBIF.org on 2022-07-05.

Description

List and geographic position of plant species associated to the tapia forest of Madagascar highland.

Sampling Description

Study Extent

Tapia forest

Sampling

Transect method Ten (10) linear transects 50m long and 5m wide were laid out accross the homogeneous site: 5 plots located near the Ankalalahana village (NV) (d≤0.5km) and 5 plots located far from the village FV (0.5 km <d<1.5 km). Each transect was divided into ten square plot (5mx5m) to facilitate the inventory. Each transect was separated from the next by a minimum of 80 m and a maximum of 120 m. Each individual tree with a diameter at breast height (dbh) of 5 cm and greater was recorded and identified.

Quality Control

Excel

Method steps

  1. Field work Specimen sampling Species identification Voucher specimens of plants were collected and sent to the national herbarium of Botanical and Zoological Park Tsimbazaza in Antananarivo for identification. Species were classified into families according to the W3Tropicos data base using the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group II system (APG II, 2003).

Taxonomic Coverages

Plantae
  1. Uapaca bojeri
    common name: Tapia rank: species

Geographic Coverages

Sclerophuluous forest of tapia located in Arivonimamo located at 50km west of Antananarivo.
