2026-02-01 eng This dataset includes biodiversity information collected by the consultant Geólogos Asociados S.A. The survey campaign was conducted as part of the implementation actions of a Biodiversity Action Plan prepared by Total Austral to develop on-site.  A Biodiversity Action Plan is a document that the company Total Austral designs for every operational site they have operations in. The document list actions to implement on-site for biodiversity restoration, conservation, and monitoring. The objective of the BAP is to diminish impacts on biodiversity that may come from the company activities. In this case, the survey was an herpetofauna monitoring survey conducted in both La Escalonada and Rincón La Ceniza. Although the survey was conducted for the whole ensemble in both sites, the dataset only informs key, endemic and conservation status especies. This explains why there may be little occurences in some sites.  Samplingevent GBIF Dataset Type Vocabulary: http://rs.gbif.org/vocabulary/gbif/dataset_type_2015-07-10.xml Observation GBIF Dataset Subtype Vocabulary: http://rs.gbif.org/vocabulary/gbif/dataset_subtype.xml This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial (CC-BY-NC 4.0) License.

The steps followed during the survey were: 1) Habitat description and characterization 2) Brief characterization of floristic associated elements 3) Systematic herpetofauna survey through 500 m length and 50 m width transects and direct observation of specimens. There were 8 transects in total and 5 observation spots along the 4 environmental units already descripted. 4) Mapping of environments that fulfill endemic and conservation category status species´ habitat requirements. 5) Field validation of the mapped environments Validación en campo de los ambientes cartografiados; 6) Georeferencing of notable ecological attributes In Rincón La Ceniza the survey covered 4 environmental units from the site sorroundings: plateu, sandstone outcrops, alluvial lowland and Carranza stream. Additionally, 6 observations spots were surveyed, doing observation and species identification for 15 minutes In La Escalonada the survey covered 4 environmental units from the site sorroundings: basalt plateau (Unit 1), alluvial lowland (Unit 2), plateau with eolic deposits (Unit 3), and sandstone outcrops (Unit 4) Additionally, 2 observations spots were added to the survey, doing observation and species identification for 15 minutes. Rincón La Ceniza: The survey was made by defining transects for direct observation of individuals. 8 transects were defined arranged along the 4 environmental units: 4 transects for the plateau (ME) 1 transect for the sandstone outcrops 3 transects for the alluvial lowland 1 transect for the Carranza stream The transects were 500 m long and 50 m wide and were traversed by foot. The observations spots were distributed the following way: 4 spots in Unit 1 1 in Unit 3 1 in Unit 4 La Escalonada The survey was made by defining transects for direct observation of individuals. 9 transects were defined arranged along the 4 environmental units: 2 for Unit 1 3 for Unit 2 3 for Unit 3 1 for Unit 4 The observations spots were distributed the following way: 1 in Unit 1 1 in Unit 2 Mrs Sara Niemetz The project includes specific herpetofauna monitoring campaigns developing as part of TotalEnergies´ 2025 Biodiversity Action Plan on all their Neuquén operational sites : Aguada Pichana Este, Rincón La Ceniza y La Escalonada. The aim of the campaigns is to collect reliable scientific information on the most sensitive species of the herpetofauna ensamble in the areas, in order to be able to define further conservations actions for these species on the short and long term and check on their populations´ stability through time. 2025-09-16T14:36:31.218+00:00 dataset Niemetz S, Gómez Arismendi M S (2026).
