University of Amsterdam (NL) - Páramo vegetation research, Venezuela.

The Institute for Biodiversity and Ecosystem Dynamics (IBED) from University of Amsterdam (UvA) has been working on the Paramos of Colombia since 1970, collecting information on different aspects of plant ecology. The data source is the field data from professor Antoine Cleef (collected in 1978 and 1984). The study provides information on the occurrence and location of 159 plant species from the Paramo in this area, collected in 17 releves. For the purpose of the GBIF data-publishing, vegetation releve data were converted into species occurrence data.
