Occurrence data for priority CWR of Zambia

This dataset was compiled from existing sources with the purpose of planning conservation actions for 30 prioritised CWR in Zambia. The data sources included: Maxted et al. (2004) (Vigna); Nur Fatihah et al. (2012)'s (Psophocarpus); Bioversity Collecting Missions database 1.2; GBIF (www.gbif.org); and the 'Adapting Agriculture to Climate Change' project database (version September 2015) (http://www.cwrdiversity.org/checklist/cwr-occurrences.php). The data were merged and standardized using the occurrence data collation template developed in the SADC Crop Wild Relatives project (http://www.cropwildrelatives.org/sadc-cwr-project/). The dataset here published includes a total of 590 occurrence records from the National Plant Genetic Resources Centre (NPGRC). It resulted from a data quality assessment using GEOQUAL of the CAPFITOGEN package (http://www.capfitogen.net/) applied to a larger dataset.
