Description

This dataset compiles biodiversity data collected in campaigns developed by Geólogos Asociados S.A. Geólogos Asociados S.A is the environmental consultant who is in charge of the environmental and biodiversity assessment in Total Austral´s Neuquén operational sites. The biodiversity campaigns mentioned are part of the implementation of a Biodiversity Action Plan, a mandatory document which must be designed for every TotalEnergies´ operational site. This document specifies implementation actions with the objective of reducing the impacts on biodiversity the company´s activities may produce. The actions involve biodiversity monitoring, conservation and restoration.

Data Records

The data in this sampling event resource has been published as a Darwin Core Archive (DwC-A), which is a standardized format for sharing biodiversity data as a set of one or more data tables. The core data table contains 14 records.

1 extension data tables also exist. An extension record supplies extra information about a core record. The number of records in each extension data table is illustrated below.

Project Data

The project includes seasonal birdlife monitoring campaigns developing as part of TotalEnergies´ biodiveresity Action Plan on Aguada Pichana Este, one of its operational sites. The aim of the campaigns is to collect reliable scientific information on the bridlife ensamble in the area in order to be able to identify key species and maintain its populations estable despite the company´s operations on site.

Sampling Methods

15 transects were set covering the 4 environmental 5 in the Ravines and Canyons unit 3 in the alluvial lowland 4 in the transition area 3 in the antique terraces area

Study Extent	The study was held in the surroundings of Aguada Pichana Este, a Total Austral´s operational site, located in Añelo, Neuquén, Argentina. Surveys were made covering 4 environmental units: Ravines and Canyons: includes a structural plain and active erosion headwaters and Alluvial lowland Transition area: includes alluvial lowland with eolic deposit, moving dunes, sandstone outcrops and polymictic soils. Antique terraces of Neuquen river.
Quality Control	To ensure an accurate identification of the observed individuals, birdwatching binoculars, cameras with interchangeable zoom semireflex lenses were used. Playback recordings were made of interest species.
