        <abstract>
            <para>This dataset includes vegetation survey data situated within Natura 2000 area in the IJzermonding (Nieuwpoort) at the Belgian coastal zone. These surveys comprise plant species inventories conducted on the tidal mudflat and salt marsh of the IJzermonding nature reserve during the summer of 2013. D’Hondt et al. (2014) investigated the vegetation succession at the IJzermonding twelve years after the large-scale ecological restoration works in the IJzer estuary.</para><para>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 code is IV2013120616475297 (Ijzermonding 2013).</para><para>To allow anyone to use this dataset, we have released the data to the public domain under a Creative Commons Zero waiver (http://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/).
