The global distribution of plants used by humans datasets: list of utilised species, occurrence data and model outputs at 10 arc-minutes spatial resolution

<p>Datasets and model outputs used to map the global distribution of utilised plants by humans. The folder is composed of two subfolders <em>raw_data</em> and <em>processed_data</em> containing respectively the list of utilised plant species modelled -<em>utilised_plants_species_list.csv</em>-, and their occurrence data -<em>occurrence_data.zip-</em> and predicted distribution -<em>species_proba_per_cell.rds-.</em></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <ul> <li>The file <em>utilised_plants_species_list.csv</em> in the <em>raw_data</em> folder contains a<strong> </strong>list of 35687 plant species (and hybrids) used by humans and 10 plant use categories with the following 14 fields:</li> </ul> <p><strong>plant_ID:<em> </em></strong>plant identifier number ranging from between 1-35687</p> <p><strong>binomial_acc_name:</strong> binomial accepted name of the plant species</p> <p><strong>author_acc_name</strong>: &nbsp;name of the author(s)</p> <p><strong>is_hybrid:</strong> logical TRUE or FALSE indicating whether the species is an hybrid or not.</p> <p><strong>AnimalFood:</strong> forage and fodder for vertebrate animals only.</p> <p><strong>EnvironmentalUses:</strong> examples include intercrops and nurse crops, ornamentals, barrier hedges, shade plants, windbreaks, soil improvers, plants for revegetation and erosion control, wastewater purifiers, indicators of the presence of metals, pollution, or underground water.</p> <p><strong>Fuels:</strong> charcoal, petroleum substitutes, fuel alcohols, etc. Given the importance of energy plants for people, those were distinguished from Materials.</p> <p><strong>GeneSources:</strong> wild relatives of major crops which may possess traits associated with biotic or abiotic resistance and may be valuable for breeding programs.</p> <p><strong>HumanFood:</strong> food for humans only, including beverages and food additives.</p> <p><strong>InvertebrateFood:</strong> plants consumed by invertebrates used by humans, such as bees, silkworms, lac insects and edible grubs.</p> <p><strong>Materials:</strong> woods, fibers, cork, cane, tannins, latex, resins, gums, waxes, oils, lipids, etc. and their derived products.</p> <p><strong>Medicines:</strong> both human and veterinary.</p> <p><strong>Poisons:</strong> plants which are poisonous to both vertebrates and invertebrates, both accidentally and intentionally, e.g., for hunting and fishing, molluscicides, herbicides, insecticides.</p> <p><strong>SocialsUses:</strong> plants used for social purposes, which cannot be defined as food or medicine, for instance, masticatories, smoking materials, narcotics, hallucinogens and psychoactive drugs, and plants with ritual or religious significance.</p> <p><strong>Totals:</strong> total number of uses recorded for a species</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <ul> <li>The zipfile <em>occurrence_data.zip</em> in the <em>processed_data</em> folder contains 35687 Comma Separated Values (CSV) files, one for each species, containing curated geographic occurrence records used to &nbsp;build species distribution models with the following 14 fields:</li> </ul> <p><strong>Species:</strong> the binomial accepted name of the species</p> <p><strong>Fullname:</strong> &nbsp;same as species</p> <p><strong>decimalLongitude:</strong> the geographic longitude of the occurrence records of the species in decimal degrees</p> <p><strong>decimalLatitude:</strong> the geographic latitude of the occurrence records of the species in decimal degrees</p> <p><strong>countryCode:</strong> a three-letter standard abbreviation for the country of the occurrence locality</p> <p><strong>coordinateUncertaintyinMeters</strong>: indicator for the accuracy of the coordinate location, described as the radius of a circle around the stated point location</p> <p><strong>year:</strong> year of the observation of the occurrence record of the species</p> <p><strong>individualCount:</strong> the number of individuals present at the time of the observation</p> <p><strong>gbifID:</strong> unique identifier number for the occurrence from the original database</p> <p><strong>basisOfRecords:</strong> the type of the individual record, e.g. observation, physical specimen, fossil, living ex-situ, culture collection specimen</p> <p><strong>institutionCode</strong>: the name of the institution or organization listed as the data publisher on GBIF</p> <p><strong>establishmentMeans:</strong> statement about whether an organism has been introduced to a given place and time through the direct or indirect activity of modern humans</p> <p><strong>is_cultivated_observation:</strong> whether or not an organism is cultivated</p> <p><strong>sourceID:</strong> name of the source database</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <ul> <li>The file <em>species_proba_per_cell.rds</em> in the <em>processed_data</em> folder is<em> a R Data Serialization </em>(RDS) file containing a data.table object with the following 3 fields:</li> </ul> <p><strong>plant_ID:</strong><em> </em>plant identifier number ranging from between 1-35687</p> <p><strong>proba:</strong> species occurrence probability</p> <p><strong>cell:</strong><em> </em>raster grid cell number between 1-2251762</p> <p>This object can be used in combination with a raster layer to reconstruct the modelled distribution of each species or retrieve species richness and endemism.</p>
