102 paired habitat samples collected across the UK Sovereign Base Areas in Cyprus. One sample within each pair was targeted on a stand of a non-native species, whereas the other sample was in a similar habitat patch nearby without the focal non-native. Samples were irregular sizes in order to accommodate different non-native stand types.Purpose
Improving knowledge of non-native species on Cyprus and their impacts.
Sampling Description
Study Extent
UK Sovereign Base Areas of Akrotiri and DhekeliaSampling
102 paired habitat samples collected across the UK Sovereign Base Areas in Cyprus. One sample within each pair was targeted on a stand of a non-native species, whereas the other sample was in a similar habitat patch nearby without the focal non-native. Samples were irregular sizes in order to accommodate different non-native stand types. Sampled stand extents were captured on GPS-enabled tablet computers using ArcPad 10.2, and stand polygons are provided here using the footprintWKT field (EPSG:32636).Quality Control
Three botanists determined taxa in the field, with frequent reference to relevant Floras (e.g. Meikle, Viney etc.) Records were captured in the field using ArcPad 10.2 on a GPS-enabled tablet computer. All records were manually checked subsequent to field-work in the process of creating the current resource.Method steps
