The Parque Botânico da Tapada da Ajuda (PBTA) was established in 1956, with roots in the 17th century Real Tapada, located on the southern slope of the Monsanto mountain range. The great diversity of this park is only possible thanks to its dimension (about 80 ha) and the irregularities of the terrain, associated with different climatic conditions; there are taxa of practically all environments, of which 280 are of the arboreal size and about 2500 are shrubs, perennial and perennial herbaceous, some with great interest in the perspective of conservation. This living collection as an integrant part of the Agronomy School of the University of Lisbon (since 1910), and as a specialized Park that is, has been considered since its origin an indispensable base for the teaching of plant species, serving to support many modules or disciplines of different degrees and masters. Cultivated plant species are the basis of numerous scientific projects, didactic works, final reports, master's and doctoral theses.Sampling Description
Study Extent
The cataloguing project covers the tree collection Parque Botânico da Tapada da Ajuda.Sampling
Field work for specimen inventory was performed in 2014, which revision in 2019.Quality Control
Data Quality Control: This dataset follows the best practices recommended by GBIF for specimen data quality (Chapman 2005a, 2005b). Data on people’s names (collectors, determiners) and taxonomy were reviewed for consistency and standardization.Method steps
- Databasing The collection database is managed using Specify 6. The following steps were performed until the current situation: Pre-processing data: data gathered from an excel datasheet and imported to OpenRefine. Extensive data revision was performed in the datatable, for consistency checks, standardisation of names, duplicates, namely on the catalog number, outlier identification and correction. When required, paper files and other documents were used to cross-check corrections. Fields verified include taxonomy fields - reference dictionary was Plants of the World Online (https://powo.science.kew.org/). The corrections and updates were performed in a copy of the original table, but no versioning was made of the individual field changes. Import to Specify: Data was inserted into the Specify database using the import tool Specify Workbench. Data quality checks were performed following this import process.
