Description

This resource contains spatial data about classical localities of endemic taxa of vascular plants registered/collected on high altitude habitats on mountains from the Western Balkans. Data were compiled within the List of Selected Endemic Terrestrial Plant and Animal Taxa of South-East Europe. Support for developing this list was provided by the Open Regional Fund for South-East Europe – Biodiversity (GIZ/ORF-BD), as part of its sub-project „Regional Network for Biodiversity Information Management and Reporting (BIMR), funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and implemented by Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH.

Sampling Description

Study Extent

We compile data on occurrence of high altitude taxa of vascular plants that were extracted from literature as well as listing specimens from relevant herbaria.

Sampling

The data consists of a determination of recorded specimens, relevant atributes of a particular collecting event and data on housing of the collected specimens.

Method steps

  1. We compile data on occurrence of high altitude taxa of vascular plants that were extracted from literature as well as listing specimens from relevant herbaria. The data consists of a determination of recorded specimens, relevant atributes of a particular collecting event and data on housing of the collected specimens.

Taxonomic Coverages

Geographic Coverages

The main area of interest is focused to the non-EU countries/economies from the western Balkan peninsula: Albania, Bosnia and Hercegovina, Kosovo, Montenegro, North Macedonia and Serbia but, data from bordering areas with neighbouring countries: Croatia, Greece and Bulgaria are also included.
