Protea Atlas Project

Data for any record locality (an homogenous area of maximum 500m diam) include latitude and longitude and some site data (geology, soil, altitude, vegetation type, disturbance, alien invasives and veld age) and the following data for each protea taxon present: population size (as 1-10, 10-100,100-10000,>10000 classes), flowering status, growth status and plant height, with occ. data on seedlings, picking and fire survival. Data were collected with the purpose of understanding distributions, conservation planning, and learning about phenology and fire survival. The data are comprehensive for the Cape Floristic Region, but only for Fynbos vegetation in which proteas dominate.
