Plant richness and predictors of American ecoregions

Description

Richness of vascular plants of the American ecoregions as defined in Ecoregions 2017.

Usage

data(plant_richness_df)

Format

A data frame with 227 rows and 22 columns:

• ecoregion_id: Id of the ecoregion).

• x: Longitude in degrees (WGS84).

• y: Latitude in degrees (WGS84).

• richness_species_vascular: Number of vascular species found in the ecoregion. Response variable.

• bias_area_km2: Area of the ecoregion in squared kilometers.

• bias_species_per_record: Number of species divided by the number of spatial GBIF records available in the ecoregion as a measure of sampling bias.

• climate_aridity_index_average: Average of the ecoregion.

• climate_hypervolume: Volume of the climatic envelope of the ecoregion, computed with the hypervolume package.

• climate_velocity_lgm_average: Average climate velocity of the ecoregion since the Last Glacial Maximum.

• neighbors_count: Number of immediate neighbors of the ecoregion as a measure of connectivity/isolation.

• neighbors_percent_shared_edge: Percentage of shared edge with the neighbors as a measure of connectivity/isolation.

• human_population_density: Population density of the ecoregion.

• topography_elevation_average: Average elevation of the ecoregion.

• landcover_herbs_percent_average: Average cover percentage of herbs extracted from MODIS Vegetation Continuous Fields.

• fragmentation_cohesion: Geographic fragmentation index of the ecoregion as computed with the R package landscapemetrics.

• fragmentation_division: Another fragmentation index.

• neighbors_area: Total area of the ecoregions's immediate neighbors.

• human_population: Human population in the ecoregion.

• human_footprint_average: Average human footprint in the ecoregion.

• climate_bio1_average: Average mean annual temperature.

• climate_bio15_minimum: Average precipitation seasonality.
