Description

This dataset includes information on the sampling events of several herpetofauna surveys made in the frame of an assemblage affectation study conducted by Total Austral.

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.

Project Data

This study follows the herpetofauna community on the sorroundings of some pads construction on-site. The objective is monitoring whether the constructions affect the diversity and richness of the herpetofauna community over time The monitoring affectation surveys were done before the constructions and then after them, to see the response of the community to the disturb. Those last surveys are called replicas and were done twice a year after the disturbs. The dates detailed in Temporal Coverage are the surveys made before the constructions and their first, second and third replicas respectively.

Title Herpetofauna affectation study: effect on the herpetofauna assemblage of pads construction

Sampling Methods

The sampling was made via observation across 16 transects, each one 1000 m long and 100 m wide. The transects were distributed near to the constructions. 3 control transects that were apart from the constructions were also surveyed in order to compare the abundance and diversity of herpetofauna before and after the constructions with the abundance and diversity in areas which have not been affected by constructions. The transects is this case are identified in every sampling event, by the code in the Location ID column, though all of them begin with APE-BA, which are both the site and the environmental unit abbreviations respectively and then the transect number. e.g: APE-BA-12

Study Extent The surveys were made before and after the constructions, which were done only in the environmental unit Bajada Aluvial (BA), that´s why the surveys are limited to that area.
Quality Control The control transects have similar geological and environmental characteristic to the ones near the constructions.

Method step description:

  1. The surveys were made chronologically, beginning before the constructions started, and then repeated 2 months post the constructions and systematically every 6 months to track the changes in the composition of the herpetofauna composition.
