Mapping the endemic Betula borysthenica Klokov in southern Ukraine using open remote sensing

The dataset includes georeferenced occurrences of Betula borysthenica Klokov. The dataset was compiled as part of the work of NGO "Ukrainian Nature Conservation Group" which aimed to map Betula borysthenica Klokov, based on the interpretation of satellite imagery from Google Earth. The dataset contains occurrences of Betula borysthenica Klokov ("Dnipro birch" in Ukrainian), an endemic species recorded in the Black Sea Biosphere Reserve, Oleshky Sands and Biloberezhzhia Sviatoslav's National Nature Parks, the Kinburn Spit Regional Landscape Park, the Sahy Landscape Reserve and the Berezovi Kolky Forest Reserve in Kherson and Mykolaiv administrative Regions and surroundings based on remote sensing data. This dataset provides information about 18,926 occurrences of B. borysthenica , which is protected in Ukraine. This is the largest recent public dataset on occurrences of B. borysthenica from Ukraine. This study substantially improves the available data on the species. Meanwhile, only 88 occurrences were previously present in GBIF.
