        <abstract>
            <para>This dataset includes vegetation survey data situated within Natura 2000 area in the Zwin (Knokke-Heist) at the Belgian coastal zone. These surveys comprise plant species inventories conducted at the tidal mudflat and salt marsh of the Zwin nature reserve during 1933 (van Langendonck 1933).</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 IV2015062513233033 (Schorren_VanLangendonck1933).</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/).
