Semi-natural grasslands, maintained by human activities such as burning, mowing, and grazing, are also decreasing due to the cessation of these practices. Recently, it has been recognized that ”old-growth grasslands,” which have existed for hundreds or thousands of years due to natural and human disturbances, are found worldwide. These grasslands, with longer duration, exhibit higher biodiversity across various taxa. Agricultural reservoirs play a crucial role in maintaining biodiversity and have substantial potential as biodiversity conservation areas in secondary nature involving private land or practices known as OECM (Other Effective area-based Conservation Measures). The reservoir banks, maintained as grasslands through regular mowing by local residents, have been shown to be important habitats for rare grassland plants. While systematic surveys of reservoir bank biota are limited, these reservoir banks have urgent needs for biodiversity conservation in Japan due to the nationwide promotion of disaster-prevention construction. We report on the flora of vascular plants in 71 agricultural reservoir banks and 10 park banks in and around Ueda City, central Japan, with information on the duration of grasslands, reservoir water storage, and the presence of disaster prevention construction for those reservoirs. These data are crucial for understanding the importance of agricultural reservoir banks for local biodiversity, the relationship between grassland duration and plant diversity, the impact of disaster prevention work on plant diversity, and the pre-construction flora in reservoirs slated for future disaster prevention construction.
