Description

The dataset is created in the framework of a national research project ('ĐTĐL.CN-58/19') that is conducted at the Institute of Ecology and Biological Resources (IEBR), Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology (VAST). The specimens have been collected during several research projects including 'ĐTĐL.CN-58/19', from 2007 to 2020, and are archived in the Hanoi Herbarium of IEBR (HN).

Data Records

The data in this occurrence resource has been published as a Darwin Core Archive (DwC-A), which is a standardized format for sharing biodiversity data as a set of one or more data tables. The core data table contains 200 records.

This IPT archives the data and thus serves as the data repository. The data and resource metadata are available for download in the downloads section. The versions table lists other versions of the resource that have been made publicly available and allows tracking changes made to the resource over time.

Project Data

The main aim of the project is to build a database on taxonomy and distribution of endemic and of rare and valuable plant species in Vietnam. The project conducted field research with collecting specimens of endemic and of rare and valuable plant species. The project also examine and choose the appropriate specimens collected during previous projects and archived in the Hanoi Herbarium (HN) to create this dataset.

Sampling Methods

The transect method has been used during the field study of the projects that produced the specimens for our dataset. The transects have been established through most typical habitats so that as many as possible plant species could be encountered during field surveys.

Study Extent All the vascular plant specimens collected in the period from 2007 to 2020, archived in the Hanoi Herbarium (HN), especially the ones collected in the frame of the national project 'ĐTĐL.CN-58/19' have been considered.
Quality Control The specimen have been taken only when all necessary organs can be found, processed and archived using most advanced methods for long term use

Method step description:

  1. The field surveys of the national project 'ĐTĐL.CN-58/19' have been conducted in 2019-2020. The specimens have been processed, identified and archived in the Hanoi Herbarium (HN). The project also examine and choose the appropriate specimens collected during previous projects and archived in the Hanoi Herbarium (HN) to create this dataset. The specimens were selected to use for this dataset based on the availability of digital pictures of fresh specimens and all other information needed. The information on the specimen has been taken for creating records. In the case when the coordinates have not been given in decimal system we used the 'Canadensys' system to convert the data.
  2. the created dataset has been checked with using Open Refine software and GBIF tools (data validator, species matching) and corrected if needed until no error has been reported
