Résumé documentaire — langue originale

Island-wide ecological surveys were conducted across South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands from the 1960s to the 1990s, forming the foundation for the British Antarctic Survey's 1996 South Georgia: An Ecological Atlas. This atlas provided baseline data for late 20th-century ecological conditions and mapped the distribution of seabirds (30 species), marine mammals (3 native species and 3 introduced species), plants (25 native phanerogams and selected introduced species), and human activities (whaling stations, wrecks) across 5 km x 5 km grid cells. The dataset also includes physical data on oceanography and geology. The dataset contains the digitised GIS shapefiles and tabulated data, available for free download and reuse, and can be viewed as geographic layers in the associated QGIS project file. This resource offers valuable information for ecological research, surveys, conservation planning, and biodiversity trend analysis. This work contributes to a deeper understanding of South Georgia's ecological history and is crucial for supporting continued monitoring and conservation efforts in the region. Collation of the dataset into the QGIS project was funded by Darwin Plus grant, ref: DPLUS187 - Using satellite technology to monitor seabird populations at South Georgia. Inclusion of additional elephant seal survey data funded by Darwin Plus grant, ref: DPLUS214 - Southwest Atlantic Elephant Seal Population Assessment (SAESPA)
