Mapping the wild ectomycorrhizal fungi of Meise Botanic Garden from 2006 to 2012

Description

Between 2006 and 2012 the ectomycorrhizal Fungi of Meise Botanic Garden were surveyed by monitoring species rich sites. By recording the precise location of the fruiting bodies we also aimed to infer the extent of their subterranean mycelia. Surveys were repeated on the same sites over time to facilitate monitoring of changes in species composition within and between sites.

Sampling Description

Study Extent

Starting from 2006 and up to 2012 the fungal communities of Meise Botanic Garden were surveyed by taking inventory of the most species rich sites within the domain. Some sites were added to the survey when interesting observational opportunities presented themselves. A dataset containing these sites was published separately (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.4778742)

Sampling

Fruiting bodies were mapped between June and the beginning of November over several years. Due to time constraints, not all fruiting bodies were mapped when they were very abundant.

Method steps

  1. Sites were surveyed opportunistically between June and the beginning of November each year. When fruiting bodies were particularly abundant a subset of individuals were mapped to represent the larger colony.
  2. Fungi observed were hand drawn onto accurate template scale maps (1:100) using fixed landmarks, such as trees, lamp posts, benches and paths. A tape measure was used to locate the fruiting bodies accurately from these locations.
  3. These maps were photographed using a medium format digital SLR camera (Pentax 645Z with Pentax FA-645 45-85mm lens at f/7.1) and imported into QGIS as separate layers.
  4. Before map project transformation all maps using the same template were digitally aligned to avoid the shifting of common features. This allows for common parameters to be used when transforming maps that are based on the same template.
  5. Each map was transformed to Web Mercator projection (EPSG:3857) by using these known ground reference points of which GPS coordinates were already stored in an internal GIS database (QGIS 3.14.15-Pi, GDAL/OGR 3.0.4). In some cases known additional points could be constructed from the drawn maps when drawn features had distances noted from known or projected reference points. Spatial information was added to the TIFF metadata according to the GeoTIFF standard. The algorithms employed were Helmert/Linear transformation when few control points were available, and Thin Plate Spline when more points were available.
  6. Each fruiting body marked on a map was added as a point feature in a shapefile layer using the QGIS digitizing tools.
  7. Coordinate uncertainty was determined by comparing the given distance measurements on the maps to the distances returned by the measuring tool in QGIS.
  8. The resulting spatial data were exported from QGIS and transformed into Darwin Core and are presented in this dataset. Coordinates were transformed to World Geodetic System 84 (EPSG:4326) to facilitate reusability.
