Description
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 172 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
This research project aimed to gain an understanding of the site requirements of stream-associated forests belonging to the Alder-Bird Cherry and Alder communities, in Flanders/East Flanders, and to translate these insights into a tool that can be used when making decisions regarding nature conservation objectives and the planning/management of nature reserves. To investigate the site requirements of stream-associated forests, combined data are required on the site characteristics and the occurrence of the forest type and its typical plant species. The combined site and vegetation data make it possible to establish quantitative relationships between site requirements and the occurrence of the forest types. This leads to a decision-making tool capable of assessing the likelihood of occurrence of these different forest types. The relationships identified make it possible to assess the potential for the development of the studied forest types in disturbed, less well-developed forests or in current agricultural areas. This concerns only the potential as determined by the abiotic environment.

| Funding | This research was carried out by INBO under its previous name (the Institute for Nature Conservation, in Dutch ‘het Instituut voor Natuurbehoud’), on behalf of the province of East Flanders (Afdeling Natuur Oost-Vlaanderen (AMINAL)). |
| Study Area Description | In reference areas, where well-developed stream-associated forest types are found, basic data were collected to establish the site requirements of the forest types under study. This involves a total of 30 areas with 122 measurement points, for a total of 172 surveys. The existing literature at the time indicate that the main site factors for stream-associated forests related to soil texture, soil chemistry, groundwater composition and groundwater levels. For all measurement points in the reference areas, these abiotic data were linked to vegetation surveys. Together, they formed the basic data used to determine the defining site characteristics. The vegetation surveys – 172 in total – were analysed using a number of statistical techniques. Five more or less ‘pure’o forest types are distinguished. These corresponded to the typology of stream-associated forest types within the related Alno-Padion and Alnion communities being studied. The various forest types are discussed in detail in the associated report, both in terms of vegetation aspects and their distribution. |
| Design Description | The vegetation was described on the basis of a vegetation survey. In forests, a 10×10 m² plot was surveyed, following species lists for each vertical structural layer (moss, herb, shrub and tree layers). To estimate ground cover, the Londo scale was used. |
