Latest version published by National Herbarium & Botanic Gardens of Malawi on May 31, 2022
The present dataset is a list of species recorded in quadrant sampling event which was carried out as part of a NORAD funded project which took place from 14- 25AP April 2006 by Augustine J. Salubeni, Donald B. Mpalika and Packson B. Nansongole.
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 38 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. This project also aligns with SANBI’s Regional Engagement Strategy, and endeavours to strengthen both emerging biodiversity informatics networks and data management capacity on the continent in support of sustainable development.The main objective of the project is to facilitate easy access to biodiversity data information held by the Museums and the main deliverable will be that Biodiversity data made available on a national Data platform
| Title | Enhancing accessibility of biodiversity data in Malawi |
|---|---|
| Identifier | African Biodiversity Challenge 2018 |
| Funding | JRS Biodiversity Foundation. |
| Study Area Description | The area under study is Nyika National Park, Malawi, Central Africa |
| Design Description | Spatial data on plants will be mobilised and converted into electronic formats and later on into Darwin Core format ready for publication on GBIF website. Since Malawi is a GBIF node, the Data sets will be hosted by National Commision of Science and Technology which is the the node for GBIF. |
