地理的範囲

Five sampling sites were surveyed in the Hamilton, Ontario region, Canada. Four sites were located within the 48-ha McMaster Forest property north of Lower Lions Club Road and Highway 2 in Hamilton, Ontario. A fifth site was located on Hamilton Conservation Authority (HCA) land north of the intersection of Jerseyville Road and Shaver Road, Hamilton, Ontario. The five sites were: 1. Created Prairie (CP) (43.2463 N, 79.9524 W), a 4 ha prairie creation site established on clay substrate following seeding in 2013-2014. The site was previously an old field dominated by woody and invasive vegetation. 2. Old Field Adjacent (OA) (43.2484 N, 79.9496 W), a 3 ha old field immediately north of CP on clay substrate, sparsely vegetated and dominated by non-native grasses and ruderal species. 3. HCA Meadow (HCA) (43.2160 N, 80.0174 W), an 8 ha meadow on loam substrate located approximately 6.2 km southwest of McMaster Forest on Hamilton Conservation Authority land. The site occurs in a landscape historically associated with tallgrass prairie, as indicated by remnant prairie species persisting along fence lines and rock piles. Contemporary surveys indicate dominance by non-native old-field grasses and tall goldenrod. 4. Old Field North (ON) (43.2515 N, 79.9465 W), a 0.8 ha old field at the northern end of McMaster Forest, approximately 800 m from CP, characterized by tall, dense vegetation on loam substrate. Sites occur within the Lake Erie Lowland ecoregion of southern Ontario. Coordinates represent site-level centroids for each 50 × 50 m survey plot and do not indicate exact quadrat locations. Geographic coordinates for all sampling sites were recorded in the field using a handheld Garmin GPSMAP 62 unit and are reported in the WGS84 geodetic datum. Coordinate uncertainty values are provided to reflect spatial generalization.

プロジェクトデータ

This project involved standardized vegetation surveys conducted in 2020 at prairie creation, old-field, and meadow sites in Hamilton, Ontario. The surveys were designed to characterize plant community composition and structure following multi-year pollinator sampling and to support analyses of habitat variation across restored and unmanaged open-canopy systems.

収集方法

Vegetation surveys were conducted in early June 2020 across all five sites. At each site, vegetation was sampled within a fixed 50 x 50 m plot corresponding to the standardized bee survey area. Within each plot, 15 randomly selected 1 m2 quadrats were surveyed, resulting in a total of 75 quadrats across the dataset. Within each quadrat, all vascular plant and bryophyte species were identified to species or morphospecies by N. Stegman and S. Irazuzta using published identification keys. For each species and for bare ground, percent cover was estimated using the Pfister cover-class scale. To improve estimates of site-level species richness, additional plant species observed outside quadrats but within the 50 x 50 m plot were recorded as supplemental site-level inventory records. These records document species presence only and do not include percent cover estimates.

Method step description:

1. At each site, a fixed 50 x 50 m plot was established corresponding to a previously defined bee survey area. Within each plot, 15 quadrat locations were selected at random and marked temporarily for sampling. Vegetation surveys were conducted in early June 2020. Within each 1 m2 quadrat, all vascular plant and bryophyte taxa were identified to species or morphospecies, and percent cover was visually estimated for each taxon and for bare ground using the Pfister cover-class scale. Estimates were recorded directly in the field. Additional plant species observed outside quadrats but within the plot boundary were recorded separately as site-level inventory records without associated cover estimates. Following field collection, Pfister cover-class values were converted to numeric midpoint estimates for data publication. These derived values were used to populate event-level measurements in the dataset and are identified as estimated values rather than direct measurements.
