This database contains occurrence information of two groups of native species: (1) bryophytes collected and animal species in southern Chile between 2016 and 2018 (organized by Valentina Riffo), and camera-trap data of birds and small mammals gathered in southern Chile between 2017 and 2018 (organized by Gloria Rodriguez).Purpose
Make our biodiversity information open to anyone to re-use it.
Sampling Description
Study Extent
We have 12 sampling sites in southern Chile, between southern Bio Bio region up to the Palena Province (Los Lagos region).Sampling
This database is based on two sampling approaches: sample collecting and camera-trap monitoring.Method steps
- (1) Bryophyte sampling in the field, during three consecutive years we sampled bryophytes at the Valdivian Coastal Reserve, contrasting different habitat types (primary and secondary forests, abandoned exotic plantations, and clearcut areas). (2) Camera traps. Camera-trap monitoring was conducted using infrared cameras at 12 sites between the Bio Bio and Los Lagos regions.
