Data from: Evaluating temporal turnover in avian species richness in a Mediterranean semiarid region: different responses to elevation and forest cover
<p><span><strong>Aim</strong>.</span><span> When studying the effects of global change on biodiversity, it is far more common for the effects of climate change and land-use changes to be assessed separately rather than jointly. However, the effects of land-use changes in recent decades on species richness in areas affected by climate change have been less studied. </span><span>We assess the temporal turnover in species richness of an avian community between a historical period and a modern one as a consequence of global change.</span></p> <p><span><strong>Location</strong>. </span><span>Semiarid Mediterranean ecosystem (Southeastern Spain). </span></p> <p><span><strong>Method</strong>.</span><span> We fitted a hierarchical multi-species occupancy </span><span>model for each period (</span><span>1991-1992, and 2012-2017)</span><span>, obtaining avian species-specific estimates of occupancy probability in relation to environmental covariates </span><span>(elevation and forest cover)</span><span>. </span><span>We analyze the relationships between changes in the bird community and environmental variables, analysing the temporal turnover of the species richness and the richness-based species-exchange ratio.</span> </p> <p><span><strong>Results</strong>.</span> <span>The estimated species richness accounting for detectability was higher than observed species richness, and decreased in the </span><span>more recent </span><span>period. Following our hypotheses, we observed a dual pattern of species richness increase associated with different elevations, showing different species turnover rates due to the joint effects of climate change and land-use change. There is a trend toward greater species richness with higher elevations that is associated with climate change, where the species turnover rate is low. Also, species richness increased towards lower elevations, but with a high turnover rate. The latter can be due to species expansions through</span><span>ou</span><span>t new habitat configurations in bordering forest systems associated with anthropic land-use changes. </span></p> <p><span><strong>Conclusions</strong>.</span><span> Our study is of great interest to understand the temporal turnover of avian species richness associated with areas experiencing both climate and land-use change.</span></p>
Survey data on joint cropland management among agri-food cooperatives in Mediterranean Spanish Regions
<p>This dataset presents data collected from joint cropland management practices survey in agri-food cooperatives of Mediterranean Spanish Regions. The objective was to examine to what extent cooperatives offer joint services, including joint management or integral exploitation of smallholdings, for the incorporation of new professionals. Data collection was conducted to five agri-food organizations: three agri-food cooperatives federations -Castilla-La Mancha, Comunitat Valenciana, and Murcia-, two second degree agri-food cooperatives -Anecoop and Unió Nuts-, all of them located in Mediterranean Spanish Regions. A total of 1.168 survey questionnaires were distributed between July 2020 and February 2021 across five organizations through the snowball sampling method. Data from 112 collected questionnaires were correctly answered, but 106 were selected for analysis. The dataset includes socio-economic data, productive information, and innovative characteristics from agri-food cooperatives surveyed, all in order to be able to examine the relationship between those factors and joint cropland management practices they carry on.</p>

EstablishMed: a dataset of transition probabilities for woody plant establishment in the Mediterranean Region
<p><strong>Motivation</strong>: Plant establishment is the result of sequential demographic processes, namely post-dispersal seed survival, seed germination, seedling survival and sapling survival. These processes can be quantified as transition probabilities between life stages through field experiments, and their product provides an overall establishment probability. This information is essential to understand demography within populations and plant colonization potential under global change scenarios. The Mediterranean Region constitutes a biodiversity hotspot characterised by severe summer droughts, which suppose a critical demographic bottleneck for perennial plant establishment. Despite many studies have quantified transition probabilities of woody species in this region, information is scattered through literature and has not yet been compiled. To fill this gap, we collated data from a systematic literature review and completed them with new unpublished data to create the <em>EstablishMed</em> dataset.</p> <p><strong>Main types of variables contained</strong>: <em>EstablishMed</em> is a compilation of 4728 records of transition probabilities that quantify demographic processes operating during plant establishment. All records belong to native species and were obtained <em>in situ </em>under field conditions. Each record includes information about the specific spatiotemporal context of the study (i.e., year, site, population, habitat and microhabitat) and the experimental procedures employed (e.g., degree of protection against natural enemies). In addition, we included taxonomic and trait information of the study species (i.e., seed mass, dispersal syndrome and life form), and the bioclimate of the study sites.</p> <p><strong>Spatial location and grain</strong>: The dataset covers the whole Mediterranean Region. The finest spatial resolution corresponds to microhabitat types within populations.</p> <p><strong>Time period and grain</strong>: Data were extracted from 271 studies originated between 1991 and 2024.</p> <p><strong>Major taxa and level of measurement</strong>: 134 woody species from 80 genera and 39 families.</p> <p><strong>Software format</strong>: <em>EstablishMed</em> is available in .csv format in Dryad repository.</p>
