Biodiversidata vascular plant occurrence records from Uruguay

Biodiversidata is a collaborative association of experts with the aim of assembling a constantly growing database for Uruguay's biodiversity. The initiative was launched in 2018 under the direction of Florencia Grattarola as part of her PhD project at the University of Lincoln in partnership with the MacroBiodiversity Lab at Queen's University Belfast (UK), led by Daniel Pincheira-Donoso. Its open-access platform (https://biodiversidata.org/) aims to make the biodiversity data of Uruguay openly available by integrating a broad range of resources including databases, publications, maps, reports and infographics, derived from the work of the team of expert scientific members. Current funds for developing Biodiversidata are conditioned to Grattarola's PhD project concluding in December 2020. The database presented in this study will continue to be improved and updated with new records periodically (yearly).
