## What is ReCER Field Collection?

Data is recorded for a collecting event and includes information about the collecting site, taxonomic units (species) assigned to samples, information about the samples and information about the population of each taxonomic unit (species) at a site. The recorded field data is returned in a digital format (.csv file) to a user specified email address.

The app was originally designed as a data collecting tool for Restore and Renew, a project that gathers landscape level genomic data for land management. Restore and Renew is led by the Research Centre for Ecosystem Resilience (ReCER); at the Australian Institute of Botanical Science (AIBS) at the Royal Botanic Garden Sydney.

Usage Notes:
• Upon export, all data will be sent to the email entered at login as two separate CSVs – one for sites, and one for samples.
• When launching the app, use the "myself" button to log in, unless you have been provided specific credentials by the Restore & Renew team or have been directed to use the seedbank login.
