TreeGOER Holdridge Life Zone Distributions: Observations for 48,129 tree species across 45 historical (1901-1920) and contemporary (1979-2013) terrestrial life zones
<p><strong>TreeGOER (Tree Globally Observed Environmental Ranges)</strong> is a database that documents the environmental ranges (minimum, maximum, median, mean and 5%, 25%, 75% and 95% quantiles) for 48,129 tree species and for 51 environmental variables, including 38 bioclimatic variables, 8 soil variables and 3 topographic variables. TreeGOER is available from the following Zenodo archives: <a href="https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.7922927">https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.7922927.</a></p> <p>The TreeGOER ranges were calculated after cleaning occurrence records and standardizing species names with the <a href="https://bsapubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/aps3.11388">WorldFlora</a> R package to <a href="https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/tax.12373">World Flora Online</a> or the <a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/s41597-021-00997-6">World Checklist of Vascular Plants</a> for a global GBIF occurrence download of 44,267,164 occurrences (GBIF.org 2021 <strong>GBIF Occurrence Download</strong> <a href="https://doi.org/10.15468/dl.77gcvq">https://doi.org/10.15468/dl.77gcvq</a>).

Data from: Accelerated shifts in terrestrial life zones under rapid climate change
<p>Datasets depicting historical (1901-1920), contemporary (1979-2013), and future (2061-2080) life zones as global rasters at 30 arc-second resolution in GeoTiff format are included, which were produced for the study "Accelerated shifts in terrestrial life zones under rapid climate change", published in <i>Global Change Biology</i> by Elsen <i>et al</i>. Life zones are determined by distinct combinations of biotemperature and precipitation and represent broad-scale ecosystem types (<i>sensu</i> Holdridge<span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span class="MsoFootnoteReference">[1]</span></span>). For the future period, life zone maps were produced using five general circulation models (GCMs: CESM1-BGC, MPI-ESM-MR, ACCESS1-3, MIROC5, and CMCC-CM), each under two representative concentration pathways (RCPs: RCP4.5 and RCP8.5). An ensemble mean across all five GCMs is also included for each RCP. All input datasets are publicly available and, along with the complete methodology, are described in Elsen <i>et al.</i></p> <div> <div> <p class="MsoFootnoteText"><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span class="MsoFootnoteReference">[1]</span></span> Holdridge, LR (1947) Determination of world plant formations from simple climatic data. <i>Science</i>, <b>105</b>, 367–368.</p> </div> </div>
