Description

This data was collected in function of the 2000-2002 "Vegetation mapping of the polder of Kruibeke, Bazel and Rupelmonde" project. The report written about this project can be found here (in Dutch): https://pureadmin.inbo.be/admin/files/5937810/Vandevoorde_etal_2002_VegetatiekarteringPolderKruibekeBazelRupelmonde.pdfThis report contains the context and full methodology of the vegetation surveys. The entire project was carried out in Dutch, accordingly the accompanying report is also in Dutch. In the data, under 'Occurrence remarks', the vegetation layer is noted. The 'Original Londo scale' used for 'organismQuantity' can also be found in the above linked report. All observations and identifications were made by experts.This dataset comes from 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 IV2014062311501652.It is possible that some of this data has been previously published on GBIF as part of the FLORABANK1 bulkdata publication (https://doi.org/10.3897/phytokeys.12.2849) at either a 1 km² or a 4 km² scale. Here, they are published as specific locations (with 30m² uncertainty).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/). We would appreciate however, if you read and follow these norms for data use (http://www.inbo.be/en/norms-for-data-use) and provide a link to the original dataset (https://doi.org/10.15468/gouexm) whenever possible. If you use these data for a scientific paper, please cite the dataset following the applicable citation norms and/or consider us for co-authorship.

Données sur le projet

This project dates from 2000-2002. After the floods of 1976, the Sigmaplan was designed to protect the land against inundations from the Zeeschelde and its tributaries. Safety measures included elevation of the dikes and the creation of controlled inundation areas. The polder of Kruibeke, Bazel and Rupelmonde (KBR) is/was the last and largest (600 ha) planned controlled inundation area. Unlike the other inundation areas, its secondary function is nature development rather than agriculture. In view of future developments and to establish starting conditions, a vegetation map of the polder was made. A network of piezometers was also installed in 1996 and expanded in 1998, to investigate the groundwater quality and regime. The low level of the polder with respect to the high level of the Zeeschelde and the Wase cuesta causes high groundwater levels in the polder. A dense drainage network is/was therefore necessary to drain the polder to make it suitable for agriculture. The most important drainage channels are the Kapelbeek, Akkersbeek, Dijksloot, Balkstaftwissel, Rupelmondse twissel and the Vliet. The drainage basin for most of these channels is situated outside the polder in the Land van Waas, but they drain to the Zeeschelde through the polder, where many drainage channels are connected. A network of piezometers was installed in the polder to investigate the groundwater regime and quality. The spatial pattern follows the topography of the polder quite well. Two centres are recognised: the central dune with low groundwater levels and the zone between the Verkortingsdijk and the Lange gaanweg with high groundwater levels. The low groundwater levels extend from the central dune to the north, the high groundwater levels spread out from the centre to the north, alongside the Wase cuesta. Alongside the Zeeschelde there is a narrow zone with high groundwater levels in the polder of Kruibeke and Bazel. Occurrence of seepage can be deduced indirectly from hydrological data (small seasonal groundwater changes) and from vegetation data such as the distribution of phreatophytic plant species. According to the reductionistic method in june-october 2000 a vegetation relevé was made in each vegetation unit (in total 614), using the Londo scale for permanent sample plots. During the inventory, 12 Red list species were found, of which Sonchus palustris is critically endangered. Despite these species, the majority of the polder was found to have a low biological value. Most of the grasslands were found to have a very low biological value. The woodlands in general however, especially the alder woodlands, were found to have a high biological value.

Description du domaine détude / de recherche The polder of Kruibeke, Bazel and Rupelmonde is situated in the villages of the same name. The study area is bounded in the east and in the south by the Zeeschelde, whereas the Wase cuesta forms the western boundary and the Scheldelei the northern. The polder belongs to the alluvial plane of the Zeeschelde and was already embanked in the 13th century.
Description du design Surveys were carried out according to the 'original Londo scale ', with the category of vegetation noted in 'organismQuantity'. The protocol and vegetation categories can be found in the report at https://www.vlaanderen.be/inbo/publicaties/vegetatiekartering-van-de-polder-van-kruibeke-bazel-en-rupelmonde (alternative link to the same report noted in the data description).
