The Swedish Red List 2020

Data Records

The data in this checklist 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 11,240 records.

3 extension data tables also exist. An extension record supplies extra information about a core record. The number of records in each extension data table is illustrated below.

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.

Versions

Sampling Methods

Assessments of the extinction risk of individual species are based on criteria developed by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), which include estimates of population size, abundance, distribution and trends, and include past, present and future changes. Experts assess a sample of all species for which knowledge is considered sufficient. More information is available at www.artdatabanken.se/rodlistning and https://www.iucnredlist.org/.

Method step description:

1. The Swedish Red List 2020 is based on the international IUCN Red List Criteria (IUCN 2012). The evaluations were made in collaboration with more than 100 experts, subdivided into 14 committees treating different organism groups.
2. Information on occurrence, distribution and trends was compiled from environmental monitoring, reports by the public in Artportalen (www.artportalen.se), expert knowledge, research data, museum collections and literature.
3. Detailed information on population size and trends was only available for a restricted number of species, whereas in most cases estimates were calculated or inferred based on ecological knowledge combined with data on habitat status.
4. Our knowledge of many organism groups is still very poor, and many species (e.g. marine invertebrates) are therefore categorized as Data Deficient (DD). Others are not evaluated (NE) – e.g. many invertebrates and fungi – or regarded as not applicable (NA).
