Moss (Raster representation)

The database for the distribution of moss in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania is maintained and managed in the Botanical Institute of the University of Greifswald. It is part of the floristic database, which also includes higher plants, algae, fungi, and lichens (www.flora-MV.de, Contact: Dr. Florian Jansen). A database extract from May 2017 was imported into the species database MV in the LUNG via the MultiBaseCS interface and ex-ported from there as a shape for the LINFOS. The present database moos17_r.shp includes all find information of the species database M-V on moss related to measuring table sheet quadrant. The data were aggregated by type, year and measuring table sheet quadrant. The precise data is available as a standalone database (moos15_p.shp). The present raster data stock includes insg. 94,570 records (aggregated from 139,235 observations) on 607 moss species from 1667 to 2017. It is not a systematic, complete survey of the entire land area. Rather, data from various projects and volunteering were collected. For areas without found points, therefore, it is not possible to automatically assume that the species is missing. In the case of corresponding habitats or habitat structures, studies on the possible occurrence of the species(s) must be carried out within the framework of authorisations and authorisations.
