Description
Meetnetten.be - ABV Common breeding birds in Flanders, Belgium (post 2016) is a sampling event dataset published by the Research Institute of Nature and Forest (INBO). It is part of the Meetnetten.be suite of monitoring networks for priority species in Flanders, in which data are collected at fixed locations using a standardized protocol (https://meetnetten.be). This dataset contains counts for bird species breeding in Flanders . Here it is published as a standardized Darwin Core Archive (DwC-A) and includes for each sampling event an eventID, date, location, samplingEffort and sampling protocol (in the event core) and for each occurrence an occurrenceID, the number of recorded individuals, status (present/absent) and scientific name (in the occurrence extension). Additional Ecological Inventories vocabulary includes siteCount, siteNestingDescription and other terms (in the Humboldt extension) to report detailed information about the standardized point counts per km square. The Humboldt extension is not yet indexed but those eco terms are retrievable in DwC-A download of this dataset. Issues with the dataset can be reported at https://github.com/inbo/meetnetten-occurrences/issues
The breeding birds project is a joint initiative of the Institute for Nature and Forest Research (INBO) and the Vlaamse Vogelwerkgroep of Natuurpunt, in collaboration with Natuurpunt Study.
The data is collected to discover trends in long and short term breeding bird occurrences in Flanders and is used for the EU reporting on trends, distribution and future prospects of the species listed in the Annex 2 and 4 of the Habitats Directive.
