The SAFE Gazetteer

Abstract

These files contain the gazetteer used to record distinct, repeated sampling sites across the SAFE Project, including locations in the experimental landscape, the converted landscape surrounding SAFE and forest reserves and protected areas.

The data files include a geojson file containing the sampling locations and their associated metadata and a CSV file containing recognized aliases for official gazetteer locations. The data in the csv alias file is deliberately not included in this metadata spreadsheet as the data is primarily used in this CSV format by data checking and other processes. The GIS geometries in the geojson file (using WGS84 coordinates) are taken from a wide range of original GIS files collected from researchers at SAFE: the source files are indicated in the geometry metadata and most will also be available in the SAFE Zenodo community. The files also include the R code used to collate the geometry data from the various source files and create the geojson and aliases files.
