Trees of India Version 1: Standardization to Records in World Flora Online and the World Checklist of Vascular Plants, with matches in GlobalTreeSearch and GlobalUsefulNativeTrees
<p>The <strong>Trees of India (ToI, Version-I)</strong> includes data on 3708 tree species distributed across 35 states/union territories of India.

GlobalUsefulNativeTrees: useful tree species
<p>The GlobalUsefulNativeTrees database (GlobUNT; <a href="https://worldagroforestry.org/output/globalusefulnativetrees">https://worldagroforestry.org/output/globalusefulnativetrees</a>) was developed after a first step of combining native distribution data across 242 countries and territories from <strong>GlobalTreeSearch</strong> (accessed 8<sup>th</sup> May 2022; Beech et al. <a href="https://doi.org/10.1080/10549811.2017.1310049">2017</a>; BGCI <a href="https://tools.bgci.org/global_tree_search.php">2022</a>) with information on ten categories of human usage documented in the <strong>World Checklist of Useful Plant Species </strong>(WCUPS; Diazgranados et al. <a href="https://knb.ecoinformatics.org/view/doi:10.5063/F1CV4G34">2020</a>). GlobUNT was described in more detail in the following publication: Kindt et al. (<a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-023-39552-1">2023</a>) <strong>GlobalUsefulNativeTrees, a database of 14,014 tree species, supports synergies between biodiversity recovery and local livelihoods in restoration</strong>. <em>Sci Rep</em> <strong>13</strong>, 12640. <a href="https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-023-39552-1">https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-023-39552-1</a>. Version v.2023.01 of the database includes 14,014 useful tree species, representing roughly a quarter of the known tree species (as listed by GlobalTreeSearch) and a third of the plant species from WCUPS. The data set included here provides the taxonomic names for all tree species included in GlobUNT together with details on the process of standardization via the <a href="https://cran.r-project.org/package=WorldFlora">WorldFlora</a> package (Kindt <a href="https://bsapubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/aps3.11388">2020</a>). This taxonomic standardization process was completed <a href="https://www.worldagroforestry.org/output/agroforestry-species-switchboard-30">during the preparation of the third major release</a> of the <a href="https://apps.worldagroforestry.org/products/switchboard">Agroforestry Species Switchboard</a> (as a consequence, all species listed in GlobUNT are included among the 230,000+ species from the <em>Switchboard</em>).</p> <p>The development of GlobUNT was supported by the Darwin Initiative to project DAREX001 of <a href="https://www.darwininitiative.org.uk/project/DAREX001/"><em>Developing a Global Biodiversity Standard certification for tree-planting and restoration</em></a> and by Norway’s International Climate and Forest Initiative through the Royal Norwegian Embassy in Ethiopia to the <a href="https://www.worldagroforestry.org/project/provision-adequate-tree-seed-portfolio-ethiopia"><em>Provision of Adequate Tree Seed Portfolio</em></a> project in Ethiopia.

Tallo database with World Flora Online taxonomic matches, also including information on presence in the TreeGOER and GlobalUsefulNativeTrees databases
<p>The <strong>Tallo database</strong> (v 1.0.0) provides tree measurements for 5,163 tree species and 61,856 globally distributed sites. The database can be accessed via <a href="https://zenodo.org/record/6637599">https://zenodo.org/record/6637599</a> and has been fully described in Jucker <em>et al.</em> 2022. <strong>Tallo: A global tree allometry and crown architecture database</strong>.

The first version (<a href="https://www.worldfloraonline.org/downloadData">v. 2021.12</a>) was used also to standardize species names for the latest version of the <a href="https://www.worldagroforestry.org/output/agroforestry-species-switchboard-30">Agroforestry Species Switchboard</a> and during the compilation of the <strong>TreeGOER</strong> (<a href="https://zenodo.org/record/8052331">Tree Globally Observed Environmental Ranges</a>; Kindt <a href="https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/gcb.16914">2023</a>) and <strong>GlobalUsefulNativeTrees</strong> (<a href="https://worldagroforestry.org/output/globalusefulnativetrees">GlobUNT</a>; Kindt <em>et al.</em> <a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-023-39552-1">2023</a>) databases. The second version (<a href="https://www.worldfloraonline.org/downloadData">v. 2023.03</a>) was the most recent version available online. Taxonomic matching was done via the <a href="https://cran.r-project.org/package=WorldFlora">WorldFlora</a> R package (Kindt <a href="https://bsapubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/aps3.11388">2020</a>, see example scripts for a different taxonomic matching exercise <a href="https://rpubs.com/Roeland-KINDT/996500">here</a>).</p> <p>Taxonomic matching was achieved for all taxa listed in the Tallo database, except for <em>Lithocarpus orocola</em>.</p> <p>Presence of a taxon in the TreeGOER and GlobalUsefulNativeTrees databases has been flagged by showing the number of records used in TreeGOER to calculate ranges for environmental variable bio01 and by the number of native countries in GlobUNT, respectively.</p> <p>The development of this archive was supported by the Darwin Initiative to project DAREX001 of <em>Developing a Global Biodiversity Standard certification for tree-planting and restoration</em>, by Norway’s International Climate and Forest Initiative through the Royal Norwegian Embassy in Ethiopia to the <em>Provision of Adequate Tree Seed Portfolio</em> project in Ethiopia, and by the Green Climate Fund through the IUCN-led <em>Transforming the Eastern Province of Rwanda through Adaptation</em> project.</p>
