Hands-on
(Katia Cézon)
Practical exercises with GBIF Data Portals:
quick and advanced search, data visualization, data download, import data into an excel, georeferenced data search, work with polygons, explore by area, statistics.

Exercise 1: Use of data portal

Hands-on
(Maria Romeiras, Rui Figueira)
Linking different databases
- Occurrence data (GBIF)
- Additional data of the flora of Portugal (Flora-on)
- Conservation status data (IUCN)
- Taxonomic data (PlantList)
- Mediterranean plants database (Euro+Med Plantbase)
- European catalogue for plant genetic resources (ECPGR)

Exercise 2: CWR diversity

Hands-on
(Vânia Proença)
Biodiversity indicators:
- Data extraction: define research question and criteria for data extraction
- Rank abundance curves
- Quality assessment of sampling coverage
- Application to biodiversity indicators

Exercise 4: Biodiversity Indicators - Introduction
