Resumo(s)
The data content of this paper is related to the original research
article entitled “Vegetation Structure and Effects of Human Use of the
Dambo Ecosystem in Northern Mozambique” that was published in
the Global Ecology and Conservation. Woody and grass vegetation
was inventoried in the dambos wetlands of the Niassa National
Reserve (NNR), the largest Protected Area (PA) in Mozambique and
the third largest in Africa. The six dambos assessed were selected
through Google Earth, MODIS satellite images and exploratory
field visits. The selected dambos were surveyed using a two-stage
systematic sampling procedure in which woody vegetation was
inventoried by means of transects, and the grass was inventoried
using quadratic sub-plots laid down within the transects. The
woody vegetation survey included the identification of all individuals to the species level, measurement of total height and
diameter at breast height (DBH). The grass vegetation survey
consisted of measurement of the total height and species identification
within sub-plots. Woody vegetation data in this article
includes also estimation of total richness, absolute and relative
abundance, dominance, frequency, species volume and successional
stage of each species in the vertical structure. Estimation of
richness and absolute dominance is also presented for the grass
vegetation
