Abstract

This Lepidoptera and angispermae occurrences dataset was compiled by the non-profit association Natagriwal (https://www.natagriwal.be/). The data were collected in plots of agri-environmental measures or during restoration of Natura 2000 habitats in Wallonia, between 1988 and 2017. 

Keywords: Occurrence, Natura 2000, Wallonia, MAEC, Agri-environment measures, Plantae, Magnoliophyta, Lepidoptera, Agriculture

Project details

Project title: Natagriwal : mesures agroenvironnementales et climatiques, restauration Natura 2000
Personnel: Dopagne Claude
Funding: Walloon Region - Belgium
Study area descriptions/descriptor: Wallonia has its own Natura 2000 network, with 240 sites covering an area of 221000 ha (13% of the territory), with 75% of forests (30% of the forest area of Wallonia) and 15% of grassland (5% of Agricultural areas in Wallonia).  The target habitats are, for example, luce beech forests, limestone lawns, peat bogs or lean meadows (see list of "habitats of community interest").

Some data are not collected from Natura2000 areas, but but are based on field studies carried out by the scientific support unit in order to assess the effect of the management measures proposed within the framework of the EAW or Natura 2000.
