INBOVEG - BELAIR LITORA vegetation relevés in coastal grasslands, Flanders, Belgium

These surveys comprise plant species inventories conducted at 'Lage Moere van Meetkerke' (part of the Poldercomplex) during the summers of 2013 and 2015, and at the Zwin grasslands (within the Dune areas site) in the summers of 2014 and 2015. This dataset comes from INBOVEG, the Flemish vegetation database, also part of the Global Index of Vegetation-plot databases (GIV) and the European Vegetation Archive.

This GBIF dataset contains the same data as in INBOVEG: its relevant GIV identification codes are IV2014012815350471 (Lage Moere 2013), IV2015081416383391 (Lage Moere 2015), IV2014090815561332 (Zwin grasslands 2014) and IV2015081416323071 (Zwin grasslands 2015). BELAIR responds to BELSPO’s STEREO II component scientific support to “develop Belgian test sites, for which targeted Earth Observation data and other measurement results are collected, on behalf of the Belgian and international research communities, and which may be used as calibration and validation sites for new EO missions, data and products”.
