Description

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.

Data Records

The data in this sampling event resource has been published as a Darwin Core Archive (DwC-A), which is a standardized format for sharing biodiversity data as a set of one or more data tables. The core data table contains 102 records.

1 extension data tables also exist. An extension record supplies extra information about a core record. The number of records in each extension data table is illustrated below.

Sampling Methods

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).

Study Extent UK Sovereign Base Areas of Akrotiri and Dhekelia
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.
