Vegetation Hydroseeding and Monitoring Dataset - Overview This repository contains comprehensive data on hydroseeding germination and vegetation monitoring from restored landslides using nature based solutions in the Azores (São Miguel Island). The dataset captures species sown, germination rates, individual counts, and vegetation cover percentages across experimental plots. It originates from a 10-year pilot study applying hydroseeding with native Azorean laurel forest species on slopes stabilized with nature-based solutions, and includes data on initial plant establishment, spontaneous germination, and vegetation cover after 10 years, supporting ecological restoration analysis. The dataset is structured in three main sections: Hydroseeding Germination: Details of seeds sown, seed density per area, and observed germination rates in different plots.Hydroseeding Monitoring: Observed individuals per m² for each species, including native/exotic status and whether species were part of hydroseeding or spontaneously germinated.Cover After 10 Years: Percentage vegetation cover per species and plot, grouped by plant type (herbaceous, woody, fern, moss), showing long-term restoration outcomes. ___ Dataset Structure | Plot | Description || ------------- | ----------------------------- || D1a, D1b, D1c | Plots in experimental site D1 || D2a, D2b, D2c | Plots in experimental site D2 || D3a, D3b, D3c | Plots in experimental site D3 || D4a, D4b, D4c | Plots in experimental site D4 || D5a, D5b, D5c | Plots in experimental site D5 | Unitsindividuals per m² — Number of plants observed per square meter.% — Vegetation cover percentage.___ Example RecordsHydroseeding Germination { "species": "Calluna vulgaris", "seeds (g)": 1000, "seeds per 100m2": 3500000, "D4a (individuals per m2)": 3, "D4a germination": 0.0001, "D5a (individuals per m2)": 48, "D5a germination": 0.0014} Hydroseeding Monitoring { "species": "Festuca francoi", "exotic/native": "exotic", "status": "present in hydroseeding", "D4a": 110, "D4b": 41, "D5a": 113, "D5b": 98, "unit": "individuals per m2"} Cover After 10 Years { "species": "Leontodon rigens", "status": "native", "group": "herbaceous", "D4a": 114, "D4b": 111, "D5a": 512, "D5b": 193, "C1a": 6.5, "C1b": 5, "unit": "%"}
