Movhera - Hidroelétricas do Norte, S.A.. Sampling event dataset https://doi.org/10.15468/jvsm8t accessed via GBIF.org on 2024-12-13.Description
The dataset contains records of Vascular Flora and Habitats collected the scope of the Minimization Measures Monitoring Program (2021-2023), measure MM18, “Maintenance and Recovery of Autochthonous Riparian Vegetation in the Inter-level Range of Reservoir” and MM46, “Creation of Artificial Sedimentation Terraces” of the Foz Tua Hydroelectric Dam, promoted by EDP – Energias de Portugal, S.A., subsequently (2021) transferred to Movhera Hidroelétricas do Norte, S.A. Data were collected in the spring of 2021-2023, during field visits to 72 sampling points (MM18: 50, MM46: 22) located in the river Tua, in the terminal portion of the flooded area and in paired control areas nearby. A total of 6153 records of plant species or infra-specific categories was produced.Purpose
This dataset is part of a broader initiative whereby the company Movhera – Hidroelétricas do Norte, S.A. will make available biodiversity data collected during impact assessment and biological monitoring studies.
Sampling Description
Study Extent
The data were collected in the Tua lower valley (Northeast Portugal), in the terminal part of the affected area, up to 52km from the mouth, in the municipalities of Alijó, Carrrazeda de Ansiães, Murça, Vila Flor and MirandelaSampling
Sampling was based on plant inventories in permanent 50 m2 sampling plots, with production of a floristic list and quantitative assessment of the degree of coverage (in percentage) and density (number of individuals per meter square, in a semi-quantitative scale) of vascular plants. However, only the percentage cover was used in this dataset. Data on the parameters of the newly planted trees, also collected in the surveys are not included.Quality Control
All identifications were made my qualified techniciansMethod steps
