PAMP-tracheo: Vascular plants recovery after a fire event in a mixed oak forest in Nazar (Navarra, Spain). PhD project, L. Alberdi

Description

This dataset provides information about 1211 preserved specimens from 311 species and subspecies and 45 families of vascular plants. The specimens were collected in the PhD project of Alberdi (2003), which assessed the recovery of vascular plants 6-7 years after a fire event occurred in 1994 in a mixed Quercus ilex subsp. ballota- Q. faginea forest. The forest is located in the south slope of sierra Costalera, in the boundary between the Mediterranean and Eurosiberian biogeographical regions (Nazar, Navarra, northern Spain). Four area types were surveyed in the study: non-disturbed forest, cleared forest, burned forest and burned grassland. The most relevant families were Compositae, Gramineae, Leguminosae and Labiatae. Disturbed areas were more species rich than non-disturbed ones. Leguminosae, Gramineae and Compositae were also more frequent in disturbed areas.

Geographic Description

The area studied is located in the south slope of sierra Costalera (Nazar, Navarra, northern Spain), close to the boundary between the Mediterranean and Eurosiberian biogeographical regions.

Country: Spain. Province: Navarra (N Spain). Municipality: Nazar.

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. Alberdi and R.Y. Cavero using Flora europaea (Tutin et al. 1964-1980), Flora iberica (Castroviejo et al. 1986-2015) and Flora del País Vasco y territorios limítrofes (Aizpuru et al. 1999).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/).
