GermanSL taxon reference

Comma in vernacular name

Some values have their first adjective name part or their rank in parentheses behind a comma, for example "Schöterich (Unterart), Acker-" or "Breitblättrige Ständelwurz, Runde". Some use commas to seperate two or more names (e.g. "Kleiner Wiesenknopf, Kleine Bibernelle", "Strand-Aster, Salz-Aster, Pannonien-Salzaster"). Since both variants are used, they can't be distinguished and rearranged automatically.

Pre-processing

The original SQLite database in germansl.sqlite is converted to CSV via the SQLite command line interface, before it is mapped to JSON with @floralink/generator.

sqlite> .open germansl.sqlite
sqlite> .headers on
sqlite> .mode csv
sqlite> .output germansl.csv
sqlite> SELECT * FROM GermanSL;
sqlite> .quit

Indicator values (Ellenberg 1991)

Original source

Ellenberg, H. (1991): Zeigerwerte von Pflanzen in Mitteleuropa, Scripta geobotanica 18: 9-166. Goltze: Göttingen.

The property descriptions follow a more recent edition:

Ellenberg, Heinz, Leuschner, Christoph, Dierschke, Hartmut (2010): Vegetation Mitteleuropas mit den Alpen: in ökologischer, dynamischer und historischer Sicht. Stuttgart: Verlag Eugen Ulmer

Pre-processing

The original dBASE (.dbf) file was pre-processed by saving it as an semicolon-delimited CSV with LibreOffice (v7.2.2.2), before it is mapped to JSON with @floralink/generator.

$ npx flgen -i source/ecodbase.csv -d ";"

Harmonization

If the value for an indicator is "x" or "?", this is normally specified in an extra comment field and the field value is set as "0". However, this rule seems to be used inconsistently. In this plugin's database, a "0" is also understood to mean "x" if there is no other known value comment in the corresponding comment field and "0" is not a possible enumeration of that field. That would be the case for the salt indicator.

Ignored entries

6 entries were ignored because their ID already occured before (duplicate entries, affected IDs: 42860, 43266, 45645, 80939, 82093, 83593).
