EDP Foz-Tua: Large Mammals: river crossings - reference situation/early exploration phase. Compensatory Measures Monitoring Program (MC40B.1 and MC40B.2) [2017-2020]

The dataset contains records of large mammals (Mammalia) and other fauna (Herpetofauna, Aves) collected in the lower valley of the River Tua to assess the river crossing potential after the implementation of the Compensatory Measure MC40B.1 (implemented in in spring 2016) and MC40B.2 (implemented in winter 2017), included in the Compensatory Measures Program (PMC) of the Foz Tua Hydroelectric Dam, promoted by EDP – Energias de Portugal, S.A. Data were collected between November 2017 and December 2020 in two bridges, using visual prospection (points and/or transects), stone powder and camera trapping (2 cameras per site). Both direct (visual observation, photos) and indirect (feaces, tracks/trails) signs were used to confirm the presence of the target species/groups (the identification up to the species levels was not always possible).

本数据集收录了在图阿河下游收集的大型哺乳动物（哺乳纲）及其他动物群落（两栖爬行类、鸟类）的记录，旨在评估实施补偿措施MC40B.1（于2016年春季实施）和MC40B.2（于2017年冬季实施）后河流越障潜力。这些补偿措施包含在福图阿水电站的补偿措施计划（PMC）中，由葡萄牙能源公司EDP – Energias de Portugal, S.A.推动。数据收集时间介于2017年11月至2020年12月，在两座桥梁上进行，采用视觉勘探（点和/或横断面）、石粉和相机诱捕（每个地点2台相机）的方法。为了确认目标物种/群体的存在（物种级别的鉴定并非总是可行），既使用了直接证据（视觉观察、照片）也使用了间接证据（粪便、痕迹/路径）。
