Description

A dataset contains contain 22,600+ records of vascular plants from the Meshchera National Park (Vladimir Oblast, Russia) and its buffer zone made by Alexey P. Seregin. The dataset is based on grid scheme with 80 squares ranging from 24.1 to 24.5 km2 (2.5 minutes lat. x 5 minutes long., WGS84). This grid scheme is coherent with a grid used for mapping of Vladimir Oblast using larger squares ranging from 94.7 to 98.2 km2 (5 minutes lat. x 10 minutes long.). In 1999–2004 (mainly in 2002), I studied 61 grid squares in the Meshchera National Park and recorded 11,721 occurrences of 683 species. In 2011–2012 (mainly in 2012), I made 1124 km of foot trips studying the flora. As a result, I visited 80 grid squares and recorded 20,034 species occurrences. Few records were extracted from relevant literature. Thereby, the presented dataset consists of 22,651 unique occurrences of 812 species. Records of the first survey confirmed in 2012 are not duplicated. The dataset was used to produce grid maps in “Vascular flora of Meshchera National Park (Vladimir Province of Russia)” (Seregin, 2004) and in its revised and enlarged edition entitled “New flora of the Meshchera National Park (Vladimir Oblast, Russia): Checklist, distribution atlas, peculiarities, and distributional changes in species over the last decade (2002–2012)” (Seregin, 2013). In the latter publication, one can find habitat details, spatial patterns within the park, distribution map, and grid frequency reported for each species as well as precise localities for the rarest species. New records include 43 species from Gus-Krustalny District, 8 species from Sobinsky District, and 4 species from Sudogodsky District (including Raduzhny Urban Okrug). Bidens connata, Senecio dubitabilis, Petunia ×atkinsiana, Monarda didyma, Prunus avium are reported for the first time for Vladimir Oblast.
