ABC_Ndangopuma_hills_eventdata_25_11_2005
Latest version published by National Herbarium & Botanic Gardens of Malawi on Nov 16, 2018
The present dataset comes from a day trip which was carried out by some members of the technical committee of National Herbarium & Botanic Gardens of Malawi on 25-11-2005.Ndangopuma hill is located on the Western part of Zomba town and has been visited several for plot sampling. The raw data exists for most of the field trips but what is needed is to turn them in electronic formats.
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 7 records. 1 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.
- Event (core)
- Occurrence
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.

Project Data
The African Biodiversity Challenge is a competition coordinated by the South African National Biodiversity Institute (SANBI) and funded by the JRS Biodiversity Foundation. The competition follows on from a previous JRS-funded project, “Mobilising Policy and Decision-making Relevant Biodiversity Data”, which culminated in the Africa Rising conference in 2015, and supports on-going efforts to further enhance the Biodiversity Information Management activities of the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) Africa network.

Sampling Methods
0m by 10m quadrats were laid out along the transect at a distance of 50m between each quadrat. In each plot, coordinates and altitude were captured using a hand held GPS. This was done at the middle of each plot. Plant species present within the quadrat were recorded
| Study Extent | A single transect was laid from the starting point with the aid of a hand held Compas which helped with mapping out transect directions.10m by 10m quadrats were laid out along the transect at a distance of 50m between the quadrats. In each quadrat, coordinates and altitude were captured using a hand held GPS. This was done at the middle of each plot. Plant species present within the quadrat were recorded. |
