Sampling Methods
The dataset comprises observations of pest plants collected across regional parks in Auckland through a combination of incidental observations and dedicated surveys. Data collection was performed by both internal staff and external contractors. Incidental observations were recorded during routine activities without a formal sampling protocol, capturing opportunistic encounters with pest plant species. Dedicated surveys targeted specific areas of interest but did not adhere to a standardized methodology across all sites, with no uniform sampling effort or coverage.
| Study Extent | Data set contains records taken within regional parks across the Auckland region. |
|---|---|
| Quality Control | All data collected were overviewed for location consistency and measurement realism within the Auckland Council custom Ruru GIS database |
Method step description:
- Due to the variable nature of data collection, there are no standardised steps utilized.
