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 274 records.
2 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.

The table below shows only published versions of the resource that are publicly accessible.

Project Data
Meetnetten.be is a suite of monitoring networks through which the Flemish Government is collecting high-quality information on 65 priority plant and animal species. These are species on which Flanders has to report to Europe in the framework of the Habitats and Birds Directives, but also other species that are important for the Flemish nature policy.
| Title | Meetnetten.be |
|---|---|
| Identifier | meetnetten.be |
| Funding | Flemish Government |
| Study Area Description | Flanders, Belgium |
| Design Description | Each monitoring network consists of fixed sample locations in which target species are counted based on a standardized protocol. Data collection relies mainly on specialized volunteers, coordinated by the NGO Natuurpunt Studie. Fieldwork is planned and monitored with the web tool https://meetnetten.be, which is also used for entering the collected data. |

Sampling Methods
Kevers - Feromoonval https://www.natuurpunt.be/nieuws/de-roestbruine-kniptor-is-klaar-om-opgevolgd-te-worden
| Study Extent | The distribution of the rusty-brown click beetle is poorly understood because this 2-cm-long beetle was previously difficult to spot. Now, pheromones are available for this rare but conspicuous click beetle, which promptly attracts the species. The larvae of this species live as top predators in hollow trees. If the species is present, it indicates that there are still sufficient hollow trees in the landscape (pollards, standard trees, park trees, etc.) and that the communities of beetles and other invertebrates in these cavities are still sufficiently present. It is therefore an ideal indicator species for small-scale landscapes and forests. In this catch-up, we provide you with the pheromones to hang in a simple trap in a suitable area. Some cages are already fixed, but others can be chosen freely as long as suitable habitat is present. |

| Quality Control | Data are collected using a predefined sampling protocol. |
Method step description:
- Researchers from INBO and Natuurpunt Studie define and document the appropriate sampling protocol for the target species.
- Fieldwork is planned and coordinated by Natuurpunt Studie, using https://meetnetten.be.
- Data are collected in the field by specialized volunteers, using the predefined sampling protocol.
- Volunteers enter the collected data in https://meetnetten.be.
- A custom SQL view is created in the meetnetten.be database to map the original data to Darwin Core as an event core, occurrence extension and measurement or fact extension.
- The Darwin Core views are connected to the INBO IPT and documented with metadata.
- The dataset is published and registered with GBIF.

We like to thank all the volunteers for their input in creating this dataset.
