This work is a long-term outcome of an international Ukrainian-Polish teamwork, aiming to assess the role of ancient settlements for steppe conservation and protection. The dataset contains georeferenced occurrences of vascular plant species on 18 ancient settlements (Lower Dnipro, southern Ukraine), collected during the 2015-2020 period. Additionally, to the total species list, the publication presents the taxonomic coverage (according to GBIF Backbone Taxonomy), the frequency classes of occurrences of the total taxa and the floristic differences amongst studied sites. The report also shows the high sozological value of the studied ancient settlements, the high levels of vascular plant species richness and the various means of the plant species protection (according to the Bern Convention, the Red Data Book of Ukraine and regional Red Lists).
This work provides the first occurrence dataset from ancient settlements in Ukraine. The dataset includes 3,210 occurrences of vascular plants recorded during the study period of 2015-2020 conducted in the Lower Dnipro region. As ancient settlements were generally considered as steppe refuges, great attention was paid to the native steppe species, as well as to the rare components of the flora. The dataset includes 1,525 occurrences of steppe species and 87 occurrences of rare species, respectively. The dataset could be useful for further research of ancient settlements` floristic richness, but also analyses and comparison with other objects of cultural origin (e.g. kurgans, hillforts, old cemeteries, forgotten parks, sacred groves etc.).
这项工作是乌克兰 - 波兰国际团队合作的长期成果，旨在评估古代定居点对草原保护的作用。该数据集包含2015年至2020年期间在乌克兰南部第聂伯河下游的18个古代定居点采集的维管束植物物种的地理参考记录。此外，该出版物除了列出总物种清单外，还展示了分类学覆盖范围（根据GBIF骨干分类法）、总分类单元出现的频率类别以及研究地点之间的植物区系差异。该报告还显示了所研究的古代定居点具有很高的土壤学价值、维管束植物物种丰富度较高以及多种植物物种保护方式（根据《伯尔尼公约》、乌克兰红皮书和地区红色名录）。
这项工作提供了乌克兰古代定居点的首个出现数据集。该数据集包括在2015 - 2020年研究期间在第聂伯河下游地区记录的3210条维管束植物记录。由于古代定居点通常被视为草原避难所，因此对本地草原物种以及植物区系中的珍稀成分给予了极大关注。该数据集分别包括1525条草原物种记录和87条珍稀物种记录。该数据集不仅有助于进一步研究古代定居点的植物区系丰富度，还可用于与其他文化起源的对象（如库尔干古墓、山丘堡垒、旧墓地、被遗忘的公园、神圣树林等）进行分析和比较。
