Description
Selected areas of Warsaw located within its current administrative borders have been the subject of floristic research since the mid-18th century. Research was intensified at the end of the 19th century. The results were published or preserved in the form of herbarium collections, most of which are held in the Herbarium of the University of Warsaw. Research on the contemporary flora of Warsaw was carried out in 1977-97. The data were presented in the form of cartograms and referred to historical data (Sudnik-Wójcikowska 1987, 1998). This made it possible to assess the trends in changes in the city's flora over the last 200 years. The dataset presents digitized contents of this publication, including historical records up to 1970. The research in selected areas and specific types of habitats within Warsaw is continued by the Department of Ecology and Environmental Conservation, University of Warsaw and over time will become the basis for further analyzes and assessment of the dynamics of the city's flora in the long run. We hope to publish them also in the electronic version.
Data Records
The data in this occurrence resource has been published as a Darwin Core Archive (DwC-A), which is a standardized format for sharing biodiversity data as a set of one or more data tables. The core data table contains 59,162 records.
This IPT archives the data and thus serves as the data repository. The data and resource metadata are available for download in the downloads section. The versions table lists other versions of the resource that have been made publicly available and allows tracking changes made to the resource over time.

Project Data
The dataset resulted from the digitization project IMBIO, supported by the Operational Programme Digital Poland in 2020-2023. The IMBIO project is the most extensive Polish enterprise of natural data digitization, with respect to its range, complexity and volume of the processed content. There is 18 participant institutions with the University of Warsaw as a leader. The project delivered 9.5 million of occurrence records, c.a. 2 million of which are based on specimens deposited in collections, and the remaining data derived from other types of scientific sources: card files, legacy materials and bibliography, publicly unavailable older databases. Integration of these resources has made them accessible and searchable. The access platform is the new version of the Biodiversity Map portal (BioMap, https://portal.biomap.pl), while externally the resources are published via the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF).
