Description

This dataset combines a wide variety of biodiversity data from different BioBlitz events on the campus of Rennes of University Rennes 2

Data Records

The data in this occurrence 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 1,511 records.

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

A collaborative project of higher education institution to monitore biodivesity on all campuses at Rennes with a participative approach.

Title Bioblitz on Rennes campuses
Identifier BioBlitz Rennes Campus
Funding All involved higher education institution contribute to funding
Study Area Description Green spaces in highly urbanized campus area
Design Description Using a participative approach, sampling involves established research protocols and standardized citizen science protocols as well as opportunistic observations.

The personnel involved in the project:

  • Programmer

Sampling Methods

Standardized citizen science protocols, classical research methods and opportunistic observations were used for sampling.

Study Extent The various campus habitats were mapped and sampling zones within each campus were designated. Sampling occurs during each Bioblitz event, nevertheless during each Bioblitz event the sampling frequency is random.
Quality Control Non-expert participants in the Bioblitz were accompanied by naturalists and researchers. Collating the biodiversity data was implemented or supervised by the experts.

Method step description:

  1. The first step was the observation in the field, collecting specimens and identifying species using microscopes and field guides. The second step was collecting data by the experts. And the third step was collating, verifying and formating the data in the field.

Introduction The ecologial management and sustainability of natural areas are strongly influenced by social, economic and ecologic dynamics, and these areas are therefore considered socio-ecosystems (McGinnis and OStrom 2014). Particulary in cities, the management of green spaces are strongly linked to the needs and activities of the human population. There are numerous initiatives and political strategies to promote urban biodiversity (e.g.green and blue grid, urban agriculture, Shwartz et al. 2013). Several functions of urban biodiversity are recognized as beneficial to the lives of city habitants( e.g. air quality, urban climate, well-being[Chiesurra 2004, Pickett et al. 2011]). The question of how to manage green spaces to promote biodiversity that fits in with the objectives of sustainable development has been adressed by the campuses within the city of Rennes. The research institutions of Rennes collaborate in a common project to monitor urban biodiversity and the impact of management practices. Biodiversity on the Rennes campuses is a sustainable development issue and the institutions aim to involve users in the process of studying biodiversity and implementing a management strategy of green spaces that favor biodiversity on campus.
Getting Started The occurrences of each Bioblitz are collected by observation zone. Mapping and protocols are specific to each campus and its habitats.Naturalists specialised in different taxa provide a global view of campus biodiversity at a given time.The recurrence of the Bioblitzes over time allows for monitoring the evolution of flora and fauna according to campus management and to the impact of climate change.
Purpose The aim of this BioBlitz is to survey the plant and animal species present on our campuses. The results will enable us to gain a better understanding about urban biodiversity to adapt management practices of green spaces and development projects on the campuses. It will also serve as a basis for monitoring of biodiversity changes over the time and for evaluation impact of management actions undertaken.
Maintenance Description New data will be implemented when more BioBlitz data becomes available and after future BioBlitz events
