ClimPlant: realized climatic niches of vascular plants in European forest understoreys
The ClimPlant database contains information on the distribution of monthly, growing-season, and annual mean, minimum and maximum temperature and total precipitation within the distribution range of 968 European forest plants.
Data in 56 csv-files with 1000 values for
monthly, growing season and annual observations of mean, minimum, maximum
temperature and precipitation in the distribution range for every species. One
summary csv-file with summary statistics (mean, median, 5th and 95th
percentile) for every species, of each climatic variable, together with seven
key geographical descriptors: area of the distribution range, latitude and
longitude of the centroid, and northern, eastern, western and southern range
limit within the study area.
