Description
Bird survey data from the Vale do Paraíba and Serra do Mar regions in São Paulo, Brazil, collected between December 2015 and February 2017. The dataset records detections of 267 bird species across 34 fragmented and 15 near-continuous landscapes, using a nine-point grid system with four temporal replicates per point. Survey points were stratified by habitat type, including native forest, forest edge, and surrounding matrix habitats of Eucalyptus plantation or pasture.
Use Cases
Analyzing species richness and composition across native forest, edge, and matrix habitats.
Modeling the impact of forest fragmentation and plantation/pasture matrices on bird communities.
Comparing avian biodiversity between fragmented and continuous land-use landscapes.
Studying temporal detection patterns using the four replicate point counts.
Strengths
Structured sampling design with explicit stratification by habitat (fragment interior, edge, matrix) and land-use type (plantation, pasture).
Records a substantial number of species (267) across a defined set of landscapes (49 total).
Includes temporal replication with four survey replicates per point.
Limitations
Column names and data structure are not provided in the available metadata, limiting immediate usability.
Key metadata such as row count, file size, license, and author are missing from most platform entries.
