National Earthworm Recording Scheme Records (Channel Islands) 

Dataset homepage

Citation

Earthworm Society of Britain (2023). National Earthworm Recording Scheme Records (Channel Islands) . Occurrence dataset https://doi.org/10.15468/pt03xa accessed via GBIF.org on 2023-02-03.

Description

This dataset includes all earthworm records submitted to the National Earthworm Recording Scheme (Channel Islands) since launching in 2016 through 2022. This includes using a variety of sampling methods and records produced by the Earthworm Society of Britain, volunteer biological recorders and biodiversity sector organisations. Full details of the National Earthworm Recording Scheme can be found on the Earthworm Society of Britain website: http://earthwormsoc.org.uk

Sampling Description

Quality Control

All records are a minimum of 'Considered correct' and those that have been verified from a photo or a voucher specimen include the name of the verifier and are 'Correct'. Records are only accepted from approved recorders or where the species identification can be verified from a photo or a voucher specimen. The data has not been checked using NBN Record Cleaner. The range of each of the British earthworm species is not currently known. Eisenia fetida has been used as an aggregate species for both Eisenia fetida and Eisenia andrei due to the difficulties associated with reliably separating these two species.

Method steps

  1. Records result from a range of data capture methods (and this is recorded in the 'Method' field).
