Description
The Kabo area is used for experiments in forestry, testing the Celos Management System. After the initial set up, surveys on biodiversity were carried out during several years. Data on amphibians in the data set were collected by Rawien Jairam and Gwendolyn Landburg. A few others collected Diptera and Lepidoptera.
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 9 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 CELOS Management System was initiated in the 1960 and was meant to be a form of sustainable forestry in the Kabo area and the Mapane area. Test areas were established and monitored for the recovery of the forest ecosystem for several taxonomic groups (plants, amphibians, reptiles, insects etc.)
Title | Biodiversity Monitoring of the CELOS Forestry Management System |
---|---|
Identifier | BID-CA2016-0006-REG |
Study Area Description | Tropical rainforest on a sandy soils. |
Design Description | Surveys were carried out along transects in the different plots during day and night. |
The personnel involved in the project:
- Principal Investigator
- Originator

Sampling Methods
The sampling methods were specific to the taxonomic groups and included transect walks, hand sampling through active insect collecting.
Study Extent | The Kabo area was sampled regularly especially during the rainy season. |
---|---|
Quality Control | In some cases the identification of specimens was rechecked by foreign experts. |
Method step description:
- 1. The amphibians were collected using line transects during night and day surveys. Reptiles and amphibians were collected by hand when encountered. Insects were collected using various methods (active sampling). 2. The specimens were labeled in the field and after identification a collection number was assigned to each specimen. 3. The specimens were first preserved in formaldehyde and then transferred into 70% Ethanol. The insects were pinned and dried. 4. All specimens were identified to species using literature, keys and foreign experts.
