Red List Vascular Plants (2016, Switzerland) - Rote Liste Gefässpflanzen (2016, Schweiz)

Data Records

The data in this checklist 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 2,915 records.

2 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.

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.

Versions

The table below shows only published versions of the resource that are publicly accessible.

Sampling Methods

Only indigenous, archaeophytic and naturally established non-native plant species, distinguishable subspecies, apomictic plant species (lineages; asexually reproducing plant species) and hybrid plant species in Switzerland were considered. Established non-native plant species due to human influence, cultivated archaeophytic species, non-native subspecies, varieties and forms, taxa newly included in another taxon, and taxa listed under a new valid name (synonymy) were not included.

Method step description:

1. The dataset follows the standardized method of the IUCN for the criteria system. The distribution values and trends of populations were calculated based on sightings, rediscoveries and absence. These trends were used to determine the quantitative classification based on the IUCN criteria and their thresholds. Careful interpretation of experts was required to revise and re-evaluate the analyses for the Red List, as many species are under- or very unevenly sampled.
2. The plant species were then assigned one of the IUCN categories: LC (Least Concern), NT (Near Threatened), VU (Vulnerable), EN (Endangered), CR (Critically Endangered), RE (Regionally Extinct), EX (Extinct), and DD (Data Deficient).
