215 native plant species presence-absence records from 76 seasonal wetlands on South Australia's Fleurieu Peninsula, collated from surveys conducted between 2000 and 2009. The data was pre-processed to remove sampling bias and used in a published biodiversity study. Spatial attributes like area, centroids, elevation, and catchment are included for each wetland site.
Use Cases
- Analyzing beta diversity and community similarity based on presence-absence data.
- Modeling species-area relationships using wetland size and species occupancy data.
- Assessing extinction risk for native wetland plant species.
- Spatial analysis of plant distribution patterns using provided wetland centroids and elevation.
Strengths
- Data covers 215 native plant species across 76 distinct wetland sites.
- Temporal coverage spans 9 years (2000-2009).
- Includes both biological (presence-absence) and spatial (area, centroids, elevation) components.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Data may reflect geographic and temporal bias inherent to the original survey sources.
- Excludes exotic plant species, limiting analyses to native flora only.
