Swedish Butterfly Monitoring Scheme (SeBMS)

The SeBMS is a standarised monitoring scheme for monitoring butterflies in Sweden. This dataset includes records from traditional fixed transect sites, often called ‘Pollard Walks’, and point site counts which cover a set area for a standardised visit time. The SeBMS is run by Lund University for the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency, in partnership with the Entomological Society of Sweden, the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency, Lund University, the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, the Swedish Transport Administration and the Swedish County Administration Boards. In this dataset, some information is placed in the table ExtendedMeasurementOrFacts (eMoF), which is part of the Source Archive available to download directly from the dataset’s page here on gbif.orgOpens in a new tab. The Source Archive contains the data exactly as uploaded to gbif (verbatim). Should you choose to download the dataset as GBIF Annotated Archive instead, the data has been interpreted and quality controlled by gbif, but, the data in the eMoF will not be included as the eMoF extension is not yet supported by gbif.
