Description

In 2024, we conducted a study of the biodiversity of the flora of Obukhovychi village in Vyshkohorde district, Kyiv region. The aim of the research was to find valuable areas for the creation of new protected areas. As a result of the research, we propose to create 10 new sites of the nature reserve fund (Moisienko et al., 2024): three landscape reserves of local importance and 7 natural monuments of local importance. We also carried out flora inventory. In total, we compiled 20 floristic lists using the Vegapp app, which formed the basis of this dataset during 4 field trips in 2024. This dataset 828 contains occurrences of 322 species (vascular plants) recorded in 20 releve or vegetation survey during the project. The nomenclature of the dataset is as follows: “Ukrainian Plant Trait Database: UkrTrait v. 1.0” - (Vynokurov et al. 2024).

Sampling Description

Study Extent

The dataset contains the co-distribution of vascular plants. The study area is located in the Kyiv Region, Vyshgorod District, northern part of Central Ukraine, Polissia lowland. The territory includes parts of Vyshgorod District. This area is located in the southern part of the Forests zone (Polissia).

Sampling

The research was conducted throughout 2024. During the research, we compiled a list of vascular plant species for a particular habitat. The species list was created using the Vegapp app. For each species, we noted its abundance using a five-point scale: I - rare, II - occasional, III - frequent, IV - common, V - abundant. To obtain this dataset, we collected 20 florist lists. The research sites were pre-selected based on satellite images from Google Earth. The next stage of selection was direct field surveys of the territory. The surveys were usually carried out within a particular habitat or group of similar habitats in an area that we considered perspective for a new protected area. Particular attention was paid to the presence of protected species. These data were used to prepare scientific justifications for the creation of new protected areas.

Quality Control

Some specimens of the vascular plants were collected as herbarium for determination and verification after the fieldwork. After digitizing the data, we harmonised the taxonomic information according to the nomenclature sources "Ukrainian Plant Trait Database: UkrTrait v. 1.0" - (Vynokurov et al. 2024): for vascular plants, we used GBIF Backbone Taxonomy (GBIF species matching tool: https://www.gbif.org/tools/species-lookup) for the taxonomic check and implemented minor corrections of species names regarding misprints and problematic taxa to avoid misinterpretation. We additionally checked and verified the data using OpenRefine (https://openrefine.org/) and QGIS 3.38 (https://qgis.org) for quality control.

Method steps

Site selection, field research
Identification of herbarium specimens of vascular plants
Digitization of field data forms
Data validation and cleaning
Data set transformation according to Darwin Core standards
Taxonomic validation, final quality control

Taxonomic Coverages

Almost all vascular plants were identified to species (97,6 %). Only eight plants out of 330 have been identified to the genus.

Plantae
rank: kingdom
Tracheophyta
rank: phylum

Geographic Coverages

Kyiv Region, Vyshgorod Dstrict, northern part of Central Ukraine, Polissia lowland.
