Description

The dataset represents records of plants, fungi and animals made by the author during his field trips in 2023-2024 conducted mainly on the territory of Left-Bank Ukraine. The dataset is enriched with records from Chernivtsi region as well as with 61 registration poits recorded by the author in the 2020-2022 period. Besides the dataset is relatively small (consisting of only 885 records) it represents finds of biodiversity on the territory of those regions of Ukraine, that experienced the military occupation in the beginning of 2022 during full-scale aggression from Russian side. This data can be used for assessing of the impact of war and its consequences on the native biota of Ukraine.

Sampling

Species were identified visually, audially, by remnants of the body or other signs of the species presence in certain place. All identification, recording and georeferencing sessions were made by professional zoologists.
