    Description

    The Biological Field Station of Paimpont (Station Biologique de Paimpont, SBP), owned by the University of Rennes and located in the Brocéliande Forest of Brittany (France) has been hosting students, scientific research and field trips during the past 60 years. During the BioBlitz in July 2017, 77 experts accompanied by 120 citizens and 12 European volunteers gathered historical data and implemented an all taxon biodiversity inventory (ATBI) in different habitats of the SBP study area.

    Purpose

    Since 1956 researchers focused on some taxonomic groups, such as butterflies and birds. Most previous surveys produced species or taxa checklists for the SBP in particular habitats; some abiotic parameters are available, especially climatic data provided by the meteorological station installed in 1967. The objective of this study is (i) to increase the range of taxa observations from the last 60 years in the study area of the SBP, (ii) to provide a basis for analyzing spatio-temporal changes in biodiversity and landscape in the SBP study area as a temperate model socio-ecosystems from Brittany, (iii) to launch future transdisciplinary research perspectives in the SBP study area, and (iv) to increase awareness and valuation of biodiversity for the public.

    Geographic scope

    Description

    The Biological Field Station of Paimpont (Station Biologique de Paimpont, SBP, https://station-biologique-paimpont.univ-rennes1.fr/) in the Brocéliande Forest in continental Brittany, North-West France (48.00 N, -2.22 W) is surrounded by a study area of 17 ha owned by the University Rennes. The mission of the SBP is to preserve ecological integrity of the area, while providing opportunities for scientific research, student field work, and public education. Located on sedimentary rock (shale and sandstone), the climate is temperate oceanic with local specificities due to the topography (hilly landscape with the highest peak at 258 m) and mixed land-cover. The SBP study area covers a diversity of habitats including ponds and creeks, swamps, cliffs, meadows, moors, shrub thickets, and forest.

    Methodology

    Sampling

    Standardized citizen science protocols or classical research methods were used for sampling.

    Study extent

    The BioBlitz took place during 24h, but historical data results from field courses of up to one week. All occurrences listed were observed on the land property of the Biological Field Station Paimpont.

    Quality control

    All occurrence data were obtained or verified by experts.

    Method steps

    1. After sampling in the field, sorting and identification was done in the lab during the following days.
