Quantitative Plant Inventory at Big Cypress National Preserve in 2002-2004 - Open Format Dataset (Public)

A quantitative plant inventory was conducted between the years of 2002 and 2004 by the Institute for Regional Conservation (IRC) on the 295,100 ha Big Cypress National Preserve in southern Florida. The goal of the study was to document at least 90% of plant taxa in the preserve. Abundance was measured on three hundred, 1 km x 1 km, sample stations; two, 250 m, transects per station; intercept points spaced 2.5 m along transects; as well as sixty, 500 m, roadside belt transects. 1094 unique plant taxa, both previously known and unknown, were documented. The data has been processed for dissemination by the Inverntory and Monitoring Division (IMD), complying with Executive Order 13642, Making Open and Machine Readable the New Default for Government Information (GPO 2013). Four tabular datasets have been created using the raw data provided from the park, following Darwin Core naming standards and introducing data quality flagging where data was missing or unclear.

2002年至2004年间，区域保护协会（Institute for Regional Conservation, IRC）对佛罗里达州南部面积达295100公顷的大柏树国家保护区（Big Cypress National Preserve）开展了定量植物清查工作。本研究的目标是记录该保护区内至少90%的植物类群。多度测定工作基于300个1km×1km的样站开展，每个样站设置2条250米长的样线，沿样线每隔2.5米布设一个截点；同时布设60条500米长的路边带状样线。本次调查共记录到1094个独特的植物类群，涵盖此前已记载与尚未被发现的类群。该数据已由清查与监测分部（Inventory and Monitoring Division, IMD）完成发布前的处理流程，符合《行政命令第13642号：将政府信息的新默认标准设置为开放且机器可读》（Executive Order 13642, Making Open and Machine Readable the New Default for Government Information）的相关要求，相关规范可参考美国政府出版办公室（GPO）2013年发布的文件。研究团队基于该公园提供的原始数据，遵循达尔文核心（Darwin Core）命名规范构建了4个表格数据集，并对存在数据缺失或信息模糊的条目添加了数据质量标记。
