Description
The dataset contains biodiversity survey data from the Beigang River and Puzi River basins collected in 2023 and 2024. The "Central Government Integration and Application of Ecological Survey Results in Rivers Administered by Central Government" project performed these surveys.
Data Records
The data in this occurrence 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 5,530 records.
This IPT archives the data and thus serves as the data repository. The data and resource metadata are available for download in the downloads section. The versions table lists other versions of the resource that have been made publicly available and allows tracking changes made to the resource over time.

Sampling Methods
Sampling methods varied for different taxonomic groups: Plants: Plant surveys recorded species at various engineering sites. Birds: Bird surveys used the eBird app. Mammals: Mammal data was gathered using iNaturalist. Amphibians: Amphibians were surveyed using the Visual Encounter Method and Audio Strip Transects. Reptiles: Reptiles were surveyed with transect surveys and trapping methods. Fish: Fish were surveyed using both existing data and field surveys. Field surveys used electrofishing and cage methods. Crustaceans: Crustaceans were surveyed by direct searching, visual observation, and shrimp traps.
| Study Extent | The dataset covers the geographic area of the Beigang River and Puzi River basins in Taiwan. Data was collected from various locations within these basins, including water monitoring stations, specific survey sites, fixed survey stations, and specific locations along the main streams and tributaries. |

Method step description:
- Initial data collection: Existing data was collected and reviewed to identify focal species. Site surveys: Surveys were conducted at specific engineering sites. Species prioritization: Based on initial surveys, the project selected several sites for priority assessment. Field surveys: Field surveys were conducted for plants, birds, amphibians, reptiles, fish, and crustaceans.
