ABC_Lisau Saddle Forest Reserve transect sampling_eventdata
Dernière version Publié par National Herbarium & Botanic Gardens of Malawi le May 31, 2022
The Lisau saddle evergreen forest is located in Chiradzulu District South of Malawi along the bottom age of Chiradzulu mountain adjacent to Chipande hills in the western foot of the mountain at an altitude of 1193 – 1232M. 15o41’57”S, 35o09’06”E. The forest is bordered by rural settlements. It has a 5% of its total land area, vegetation type is of mixed evergreen forest, it is rich in plant species some of which are protected. The reserve is defined by being on Saddle between Chiradzulu Mountain and Chipande hills. This dataset is derived from a report on the Vegetation assessment of the Lisau Saddle Forest Reserve which was conducted on 9 August 2006.

Couverture géographique
Chiradzulu Mountain is located approximately 20 km to the north-east of Blantyre, Malawi's main commercial centre. The administrative district of Chiradzulu in southern Malawi was named after this mountain. Chiradzulu Peak is at the eastern end of the mountain, with a quite thickly wooded saddle between it and Lisau ridge to the west.

Données sur le projet
The African Biodiversity Challenge is a project coordinated by South Africa National Biodiversity Institute (SANBI)and funded by JRS Biodiversity Foundation. Its main focus is mobilising Biodiversity data and making it accessible through online platforms such as GBIF Website. The National Herbarium and Botanic Gardens of Malawi and the Museums of Malawi hold large collections of the countries flora and fauna respectively. These collections are used as reference material for taxonomic research, species identification, species distribution, red list assessments and educational purposes. However, both Institutions collections are partly digitised which make it difficult to be accessed by researchers, policy makers and conservationists.

| Description du domaine d'étude / de recherche | Chiradzulu Mountain is located approximately 20 km to the north-east of Blantyre, Malawi's main commercial centre. The administrative district of Chiradzulu in southern Malawi was named after this mountain. Chiradzulu Peak is at the eastern end of the mountain, with a quite thickly wooded saddle between it and Lisau ridge to the west. 70 Plant species were recorded at Lisau Saddle, all the species were identified up to family level. The data resource was collected on 9 August 2006. |
| Description du design | The project is aimed at mobilising biodiversity data and making it accessible. Project partner institutions mobilising data are National Herbarium and Botanic Gardens of Malawi(NHBG), Museums of Malawi(MoM) and Wildlife and Environmental Society of Malawi (WESM). Publishing is done through IPT hosted by the Malawi National Commission for Science and Technology (NCST). |

Méthodes d'échantillonnage
50 meters measuring tape, a campus, GPS, measuring rod, D.B.H. meter Panga knife and a digital camera were used during the survey. A 50 meter measuring tape was used for measuring both the size of each quadrant and interval of 50m between quadrants. A campus was used for positioning the right direction of the transect, measuring rod was used for measuring the tree height, D.B.H. meter used to measure tree diameter, Panga knife was used to clear the way in thick forest and the digital camera was used to take photographs of the vegetation. A line transects was made from South South West direction of Lisau Saddle at an elevation of 1232m, latitude 15º41’57”S and Longitude 35º09’06”E. towards the direction of Chipande Hill. Quadrants made were each measured 10m by 10m at an interval of 50m between quadrants. Georeference and elevation readings were taken from the centre of each quadrant in order to get fair or mean readings.

Quadrants made were each measured 10m by 10m at an interval of 50m between quadrants. Georeference and elevation readings were taken from the centre of each quadrant in order to get fair or mean readings. The data was recorded on printed sheets and was captured electronically using Microsoft office excel program, data was analysed using excel tools to determine coverage percentages, species population and also other data control measures. The recorded georeferenced data was in degree minutes and seconds, and was converted into decimal degrees using LatLong.net convertor tool.
Métadonnées additionnelles
| Objet | The dataset was created to raise awareness on the importance of Lisau Saddle Forest Reserve. It is logical to protect the future of this forest pocket, by community education only by making local people realize that the reserve has much greater value than as a source of firewood or charcoal burning. It is also important for further conservation and management of plant species found in the Forest Reserve. |
|---|---|
| Description de la fréquence de mise à jour | This resource will be updated whenever there is a need, further any data collected through visit to the forest reserve will add to this resource. |
