EcoCertified: A cameraTrap survey in solar field and control grasslands

These camera trap datasets are derived from the Agouti project EcoC Inventory 2022 - Impact of photovoltaic park in the Netherlands and EcoC Inventory 2024 - Impact of photovoltaic park in the Netherlands. Data have been standardized to Darwin Core using the camtraptor R package and only include observations (and associated media) of animals. Excluded are records that document blank or unclassified media, vehicles, and observations of humans. Geospatial coordinates are rounded to 0.001 degrees. The original dataset description follows. EcoC Inventory 2022/2024 - Impact of photovoltaic park in the Netherlands are occurrence dataset published by Wageningen University and Research (WUR), which was funded by the Netherlands Enterprise Agency under grant number MOOI22004 and is part of the EcoCertified Solar Parks project. Both data sets are monitoring of the effect of solar fields on species in solar fields, extensive meadow controls, and intensive grassland controls. Data were collected by the Wildlife Ecology and Conservation chair group. The cameras used are all Reconix HF2X. All species were annotated to the species level if possible; if not genus level was accepted. The inventory happened in 15 solar fields with their paired controls, an extensive and an intensive grassland. AI (MegaDetector V6) was used to annotate blank pictures only.
