Description

This dataset contains the 2012 Dutch Red List of bryophytes, which assesses the extinction risk of native and archaeophytic moss species in the Netherlands. The assessment follows the IUCN Red List criteria adapted for national use and provides a scientifically grounded basis for conservation policy, biodiversity monitoring, and habitat management. It was originally published as: H.N. Siebel, R.J. Bijlsma & L.B. Sparrius, 2013. Basisrapport voor de Rode Lijst Mossen 2012. BLWG Rapport 14. BLWG, Oude-Tonge.

Sampling Methods

Only native species which reproduce and establish new populations in the Netherlands were considered. Non-native species and vagrants were not included.

Study Extent The conservation status of all 517 native bryophytes of the Netherlands was assessed according to the IUCN criteria, and additionally the Dutch criteria.

Method step description:

  1. The Red List is compiled by calculating the rarity and long-term trends of species for the Dutch criteria. A species is considered a Red List species when it adheres both to the trend (t) and rarity (z) criteria, or if it adheres to one of the two criteria in great extent. The criteria are applied to both the spread/dispersion (v) and the number of reproducing individuals. This results in the following criteria: population trend (tn; trend in number of reproducing individuals), dispersion trend (tv; trend in spread of reproducing individuals), rarity based on number (zn), and rarity based on dispersion (zv).
  2. The spread/dispersion is expressed as the percentage of surface area of the Netherlands. It is assumed that this includes 1,674 atlas grid squares of 5 × 5 km. The classes are defined as follows: 0 atlas grids (x), 1-16 atlas grids (zzz), 17-83 atlas grids (zz), 84-108 atlas grids (z), and more than 209 atlas grids (a).
  3. The trend and rarity criteria leads to the Dutch Red List categories (with the corresponding regional IUCN categories): VN (verdwenen in Nederland; Regionally Extinct), EB (ernstig bedreigd; Critically Endangered), BE (bedreigd; Endangered), KW (kwetsbaar; Vulnerable), GE (gevoelig; Near Threatened). There are three non-Red List categories: TNB (thans niet bedreigd; Least Concern), OG (onvoldoende gegevens; Data Deficient), and NB (niet beschouwd; Not Evaluated). In extreme cases there are three additional categories: VNW (in het wild verdwenen; -), UWW (in het wild uitgestorven op wereldschaal; Extinct in the Wild), and UW (uitgestorven op wereldschaal; Extinct).
