Data portal
A core objective of BIORECBouhedma is to ensure that data generated and analysed across various disciplines are made accessible not only to project partners, but also to other researchers, organisations, and institutions worldwide who have a legitimate interest in this information.
Facilitating open access to data is a fundamental condition for encouraging meaningful collaboration and for ensuring the effective use and long-term impact of the data produced through BIORECBouhedma’s work.

Metadata
The BIOREC Bouhedma project has produced a diverse range of datasets that extend well beyond the project’s immediate goals and hold value for researchers, institutions, and stakeholders outside the core team. To support transparency and facilitate access, metadata have been compiled to describe each dataset’s content, structure, and availability. A dataset—defined here as a collection of related data records—is typically linked to a specific discipline, ecological theme, or research question. The role of metadata is to provide an overview of these datasets, including their current status, format, and conditions for access. In short, metadata serve as "data about data," ensuring that BIOREC Bouhedma’s outputs can be identified, shared, and reused effectively across the conservation and research community.
Weather data
Processed weather data from the BIOREC Bouhedma observatory stations will soon be made openly accessible. These datasets will include information on station locations, recorded time periods, measured variables, and time resolutions.
Photo guides
The plant life of the Bouhedma region exhibits remarkable diversity in form, function, habitat, and geographic distribution. However, due to the limited number of available publications, accurately identifying species across many taxonomic groups remains a challenge.
This guide aims to support the rapid identification of plant species by presenting photographs arranged in phylogenetic order.
