INBOVEG - Vegetation surveys to evaluate the local conservation status (LSVI) of habitat type 3260 (Ranunculion fluitantis & Callitricho-Batrachion) in Flanders, Belgium

Using standardized evaluation criteria (Oosterlynck et al. 2020), the Research Institute for Nature and Forest (INBO) integrates these survey data to evaluate habitat quality and conservation trends in Flanders (Vanden Borre et al. 2025) for periodic reporting under the EU Habitats Directive. This dataset comes from INBOVEG, the Flemish vegetation database, also part of the Global Index of Vegetation-plot databases (GIV) and the European Vegetation Archive.

This GBIF dataset contains the same data as in INBOVEG: its relevant GIV identification code is IV2016110814174836 (HT3260).
