Descrição

The Solomon Islands is a country in Oceania, consisting of nearly 1,000 islands and covering a land area of 28,400 square kilometres. It is located in the southwest Pacific at the northeast end of Australia and east of Papua New Guinea. Its geographical location, tropical climate, and mountainous topography provide it with a rich and diverse flora, harbouring over 7,000 vascular plant species. However, in recent decades, the coverage of primary forests has declined rapidly due to logging and the increasing coverage of economic plantations. The situation has seriously threatened the country's biodiversity. Since 2012, The “Census and Classification of Plant Resources in the Solomon Islands” project has been conducting collaboratively by Solomon Islands (Ministry of Forestry and Honiara Botanical Gardens), Taiwan (International Cooperation and Development Fund, National Museum of Natural Science, Taiwan Forestry Research Institute, National Tsing Hua University, and Koo Botanical Conservation Center), and Japan (Makino Botanical Garden). This project aims to bring awareness to the abundant plant resources and comprehensive flora of the country and to facilitate plant conservation. During the expedition in 2012 and 2013, over 15,000 sheets of specimens representing about 700 species of vascular plants were collected. The results provide an insight into the spectacular floral diversity of the Solomon Islands.This dataset is currently being worked on to enrich its metadata. Any comments and suggestions are welcome. Please reach out to the resource creator. Thanks.

Metadados Adicionais

Coordinate values are as originally recorded and may be of low precision. Due to the narrow land area of many Solomon Islands, rounded coordinates frequently fall offshore, triggering GBIF's continent and country coordinate mismatch flags. However, the coordinates still need further investigation to decide whether updates are needed.
