Data and code for publication: "Floristic Patterns in the Andes of Northern Patagonia's Forests"

<p>This dataset supports the study "Floristic Patterns in the Andes of&nbsp;<br>Northern Patagonia's Forests" published in Vegetation Classification and Survey, which<br>investigates the relationship between plant communities and environmental drivers in&nbsp;<br>the Andes of northwest Patagonia, Argentina. It also employs both expert-based and&nbsp;<br>numerical classification methods to explore floristic patterns across steep gradients&nbsp;<br>of aridity and temperature. The project provides a detailed dataset of 141 vegetation&nbsp;<br>samples, using advanced statistical methods to define six distinct plant communities&nbsp;<br>and their environmental drivers. It aims to refine existing vegetation classifications&nbsp;<br>for the study area and inform conservation efforts.</p>
