Table 2 Dataset fields included in SIVFLORA, grouped across seven categories: Record, Location, Taxonomy, Phytogeographic Information, Collection Information, Determination information, and GBIF Taxonomy Comparison. The fields include unique record identifiers, geographic coordinates, climatic and administrative data, taxonomic classifications (verbatim and reviewed), species establishment status, specimen collection details, and GBIF taxonomic harmonization.
