INBOVeg - Pollinator and Floristic surveys carried out as part of a sinus management study in Flanders, Belgium

Under 'occurrence remarks', the distance of the organism from the point of measuring is given, where noted. A value of 0 is a distance of 0, if no distance was noted then the field will read 'NULL'. More details regarding the surveying protocols is given later, though a full overview (along with the results of the experiment itself) can be found in the article: Parmentier, L., Kerckvoorde, A. V., Couckuyt, J., Calster, H. V., Smagghe, G., & Haesaert, G. (2025).
