Description
Beta patula Population Assessment hosts information on plant communities in Madeira Island, Portugal. This archive consists of 2656 vegetation descriptions. The data provides information of a 10 year span vegetation census, from 2014 to 2023 in two uninhabited islets where Beta patula occurs covering Coastal Dry Grassland and Shrubland. This work is part of a EU LIFE Project, LIFE RECOVER NATURA and was conducted by members of the ISOPlexis Genebank Research Group of the University of Madeira.
Data Records
The data in this sampling event 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 611 records.
1 extension data tables also exist. An extension record supplies extra information about a core record. The number of records in each extension data table is illustrated below.
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 long-term or ongoing objective of the LIFE RECOVER NATURA project is to guarantee that the ecosystems of the Natura 2000 Sites of Ponta de São Lourenço and Desertas Islands (Deserta Grande and Ilhéu Chão) reach a stable, favorable and self-sustaining conservation status.
| Title | LIFE RECOVER NATURA - Recovery of the species and land habitats of the Natura 2000 sites Ponta de São Lourenço and Desertas Islands. |
|---|---|
| Identifier | PROJETO LIFE12 NAT/PT/000195 |
| Funding | This Project was funded by the EU LIFE Program |
| Study Area Description | The study area comprises two Nature 2001 Sites located at the Madeira Archipelago, Portugal. The Chão Islet, included in the Desertas Islands (PTDES0001) and the Desembarcadouro Islet, a part of the Ponta de São Lourenço Peninsula (PTMAD0003). Both ecossystems in these areas are of extreme importance with reference to the Habitats Directive 1250 - Scarps with endemic flora from Macaronesian Coastlines and 5330 - Pre Desertic termomediterranean Shrubland. |
| Design Description | The objective of Action A6 was to determine occurrence areas and population effective for the endagered and Endemica Beta patula Aiton species. |

Sampling Methods
The collection of floristic data was conducted the following way: At a sampling site comprising of 16 square meters, it was created a grid of 16 individual 1 square meters. Four of these areas were randomly chosen using a randomizer software.
| Study Extent | Sampling was carried out in the distribution areas of Beta patula at the Desembarcador and Chão Islets in Madeira Archipelago. The sampling period was between 2014 and 2018, covereing a five year span of dataduring the project's duration. The sampling frequency was yearly, always during spring. For Desembarcador Islet 12 permanent sampling sites were chosen. For Chão Islet 3 permanent sampling sites were created. These sampling sites have an area of 16 square meters. From 2019 onwards the projecct continues in the Pós-LIFE format, using the same methodology as previously. |
|---|---|
| Quality Control | A count of all the plants present in the grids was made by two trained technicians. All data gathered was validated accordding to the Bibliography given to each event record. All areas were GPS referenced with a 3 meter standard error, giving all sampling events the lowest distribution error, thus increasing location precision. All data was registered in the occurrence dataset has been published as a Darwin Core Archive (DwC-A), which is a standardized format for sharing biodiversity data. This dataset contains 2369 records. |
