Description: Many fields in dataset http://www.gbif.org/dataset/90ae13f0-288f-4108-b741-ac8a0f9e0878 carry the string "NA" (not applicable or not available). This leads to strange effects on the dataset page (which looks untidy, as headers cannot be concealed as would be the case with empty fields). In addition, even though the occurrences look ok (http://www.gbif.org/occurrence/search?datasetKey=90ae13f0-288f-4108-b741-ac8a0f9e0878), the taxonomic coverage on the dataset page is off (http://www.gbif.org/dataset/90ae13f0-288f-4108-b741-ac8a0f9e0878: just showing "NA (Vascular plants), which is supposedly a metadata entry.

Suggest to contact the publisher and ask them to remove all NA entries.]]>
