PAMP-tracheo: Vascular plants in La Demanda and Cameros mountain ranges (La Rioja, Spain). PhD project, L.M. Medrano

Description

This dataset provides information about 847 preserved specimens from 566 species and subspecies and 76 families of vascular plants. The specimens were collected in the PhD project of Medrano (1994), which assessed the vascular flora of La Demanda and Cameros mountain ranges (La Rioja, N Spain). An inventory was conducted based on fieldwork and taxa were identified. The dataset is a subset of the specimens collected in the project of Medrano, which reported a total of 1261 taxa.

Geographic Description

The area studied is located in La Demanda and Cameros mountain ranges (La Rioja, N Spain), which are part of the Iberian System.

Country: Spain. Province: La Rioja (N Spain).

Methods

Plant collection. Plant vouchers were selected and collected in the field.Identification to species or subspecies level. Identification was performed between 2003 and 2009 by L.M. Medrano using Flora europaea (Tutin et al. 1964-1980) and Flora iberica (Castroviejo et al. 1986-1993, volumes 1-4).Plant conservation. Specimens were dried and pressed for conservation using standard protocols. Vouchers were deposited in the herbarium of the University of Navarra.Numbering and digitization of vouchers. From 2012 to date, each specimen was labelled, with a unique collection number, and digitized, using HERBAR software (v3.7.1 Pando et al. 1994-2010).Nomenclature was updated using Flora iberica (Castroviejo 1986-2015).Names of municipalities, localities and place names were updated according to Toponimia Oficial de Navarra http://toponimianavarra.tracasa.es/).Localities were georeferenced using x- and y- UTM coordinates. Uncertainty was also assigned.Coordinates, characters and format of dates were checked for possible mistakes using Darwin test software (v3.3, Ortega-Maqueda & Pando 2008). This software also allowed the data to fulfil the Darwin Core Standard (Wieczorek et al. 2012).Metadata were documented and the dataset was published in the GBIF data portal using the Integrated Publishing Toolkit (IPT v2.3.5) of GBIF.es http://ipt.gbif.es/).
