Species richness and abundance data for reptiles collected over four years following two megafires in the eastern Iberian Peninsula. The dataset includes counts from both burnt and unburnt plots, allowing for comparative analysis. Xavier Santos compiled this data, focusing on reptile resilience in the Mediterranean basin.
Use Cases
- Modeling reptile population recovery based on post-fire survey data
- Comparing species richness between burnt and unburnt plots
- Analyzing the impact of megafires on reptile abundance over a four-year period
Strengths
- Data spans a four-year post-disturbance period, enabling longitudinal analysis
- Includes comparative data from both burnt and unburnt control plots
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
