Native range estimates for red-listed vascular plants
<p>Besides being central for understanding both global biodiversity patterns and associated anthropogenic impacts, species range maps are currently only available for a small subset of global biodiversity. Here, we provide a set of assembled spatial data for terrestrial vascular plants listed at the global IUCN red list. The dataset consists of pre-defined native regions for 47,675 species, density of available native occurrence records for 30,906 species, and standardized, large-scale Maxent predictions for 27,208 species, highlighting environmentally suitable areas within species' native regions. The data was generated in an automated approach consisting of data scraping and filtering, variable selection, model calibration and model selection. Generated Maxent predictions were validated by comparing a subset to available expert-drawn range maps from IUCN (n = 4,257), as well as by qualitatively inspecting predictions for randomly selected species. We expect this data to serve as a substitute whenever expert-drawn species range maps are not available for conducting large-scale analyses on biodiversity patterns and associated anthropogenic impacts.</p>

Vascular plant community surveys across different reindeer grazing regimes in the Fennoscandian tundra
<p>This dataset contains data from the experiment described in "Gibson K., Olofsson, J. Mooers, A. Ø., & Monroe, M. J. (2021) Pulse grazing by reindeer (<em>Rangifer tarandus</em>) can increase the phylogenetic diversity of vascular plant communities in the Fennoscandian tundra. Ecology and Evolution. <em>In press</em>." </p> <p>The data is from a multi-year (2004-2007) quasi-experimental study in Northern Fennoscandia, which was designed to analyze the effect of reindeer grazing on vascular plant community diversity. Our study design used a permanent fence constructed in the 1960s and temporary fences constructed along the permanent fence to expose plant communities to three different grazing regimes: light (almost never grazed), pulse (grazed every other year) and press (chronic grazing for over forty years). The study deisgn consisted of plots setup at five different sites at least 100m apart from each other along the permanent fence. Each site was divided<span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span> into the three grazing regimes (light, pulse and press).

The biodiversity metrics used in the associated manuscript can be calculated from these variables. </p> <p>The main results of this experiment were that (1) the species richness and evenness of plant communities with pulse and press grazing did not differ from communities with light grazing, (2) there was a transition from shrub‐dominated communities with light grazing to graminoid‐dominated communities with pulse and press grazing and (3) communities with pulse, but not press, grazing were more phylogenetically dispersed than communities with light grazing.</p>

Data from: The patterns of vascular plant discoveries in China
<p>Aim</p> <p>1. To understand geographic patterns of species discovery by examining the effect of growth form, range size, and geographic distribution on discovery probability of vascular plant species in China.</p> <p>2. To find out which taxa harbor the largest number of undiscovered species and where those species locate.</p> <p>3. To find out the determinants of province-level mean discovery time and inventory completeness.</p> <p>Location: China</p> <p>Methods</p> <p>We compiled the discovery time and province-level geographic distributions of ~31000 vascular plant species described between 1753 and 2013 from Flora of China. We used a Cox proportional hazard model to determine the biological and geographic correlates of discovery probability. Accumulation curves of species discoveries were fitted by a logistic discovery model to estimate inventory completeness of different growth forms and of different provinces. We then used linear regression to identify the determinants of mean discovery time, and beta regression to identify the determinants of inventory completeness.</p> <p>Results</p> <p>We found that species with larger range size and distributed in northeastern part of China have a higher discovery probability. Coastal species were discovered earlier than inland species. Trees and shrubs of seed plants have the highest discovery probability while ferns have the lowest discovery probability. Herbs have the largest number of undiscovered species in China. Most undiscovered species will be found in southwest China, where three global biodiversity hotspots locate. Spatial patterns of mean discovery time and inventory completeness are mainly driven by the total number of species, human population density in an area, latitude and longitude of a province.</p> <p>Main conclusions</p> <p>Socio-economic factors primarily determine the discovery patterns of vascular plants in China. Undiscovered species are most likely to be narrow-ranged, inconspicuous endemic species such as herbs and ferns, which are prone to extinctions and locate in biodiversity hotspots in southwestern China.</p>

Numerical appendix: Explanation note: A shapefile representing the dataset completeness (based on the Jackknife 1, a non-parametric estimator) on a grid of 10 km by 10 km cells. The number of records in each cell was used as an estimator of the sampling effort. The ratio between the observed and estimated richness of species measures the completeness of the inventory in each surveyed cell (Vallet et al. 2012).
Threats of land use to the global diversity of vascular plants
<p>Inputs, outputs, and scripts used in the model that supports the findings of the article "Threats of Land Use to the Global Diversity of Vascular Plants". We first calculated the extinction threat at ecoregion level using the countryside species-area model. Next, we allocated the regional extinction threats to land use. Finally, we calculated the global extinction threat per ecoregion and land use.</p> <p>In this repository, you will find the inputs necessary to run the model, the R scripts to run the model, and the outputs of the model.</p>
