mariarose.evesdown@inbo.be 0009-0000-9611-3824 2026-08-06 eng This dataset was gathered as part of an INBO and Flemish Land Agency project investigating the natural ecosystem development in the Smeetshof nature reserve and looking at different manners of monitoring and managing the site. More details can be found in the (Dutch) reports Van der Aa B. et al., 2017 & Van Uytvanck J. et al., 2017.This data was and is stored in INBOVEG, the INBO vegetation record database (also part of the "Global Index of Vegetation-plot databases" and the "European Vegetation Archive").The GBIF dataset is the same as the data in INBOVeg. The relevant identification code is 'IV2015121714510259'.In the data, under 'Occurrence remarks', the vegetation layer code is noted. All observations and identifications were made by trained experts. 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/).

Please see the (Dutch) reports Van der Aa B. et al., 2017 & Van Uytvanck J. et al., 2017. In this dataset, the location uncertainty has been set to 75 m. This is due to the 50 m x 50 m quadrant size x 1.5. Please see the (Dutch) reports Van der Aa B. et al., 2017 & Van Uytvanck J. et al., 2017. Permanent Quadrant (PQ) surveying was carried out in 50 m x 50 m squares, using the Tansley abundance scale. In the data, under 'Occurrence remarks', the vegetation layer code is noted.

INBO carried out this final monitoring on behalf of the Flemish Land Agency (VLM), as well as drawing up an evaluation report to discuss both the development of the site during the years of monitoring, as well as the monitoring methodology used. At around the same time as this report, the Flemish Agency for Forest and Nature (ANB) were also writing their own management and monitoring programmes for the area, and INBO's report was intended to assist/complement these efforts.
