Abstract

The Ecology section is one of the four sections in the department of forest conservation and protection of the Forestry Research Institute of Nigeria, Ibadan. As part of her mandate, the section ensures the protection and conservation of natural resources in-situ. The first Strict Nature Reserve (SNR 1) was established in Omo Forest Reserve in the Ijebu area of Ogun State, Nigeria by the Forest Research Institute of Nigeria. It was one of the SNRs initiated to help conserve forest resources, but later upgraded to a Biosphere status. This present data is a checklist of 38 tree species from  investigation (INV 22) carried out in the Permanent Sample Plot (PSP 143)  of Idanre area, Ondo State, Nigeria in the year 1967.

Keywords: Checklist, Nigeria, Idanre, Strict Nature Reserve, Trees, Conservation

Project details

Project title: Nigeria Node Mentoring
Personnel: Omokafe Ugbogu, Jean Ganglo, Anne-Sophie Archambeau
Funding: The project was funded by European Union and GBIF.
Study area descriptions/descriptor: The current project was extended to a wider audience and trainings were replicated in Southern and Northern Nigeria. These were held at the Forestry Research Institute of Nigeria, Ibadan, Southwestern Nigeria, and Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria in the North West. Participants were drawn from the six eco-geographical zones across Nigeria. Records mobilized for the training were those of herbarium collections and animal data.
Design description: In the research design, specimens were digitized directly into Darwin Core spreadsheet by project team. The data cleaning was done using OpenRefine software. In the process of digitization, Google Maps (GPS finder) was used for Georeferencing of localities on specimen’s records. Validation of taxonomic records was done using Global Names Resolver and other online resources. The goal of the research design for the current project was to ensure the continued availability of Nigeria's biodiversity data via GBIF platform.
