RELIX: a dataset of vascular plant species presence for 353 prairie remnants in the Midwestern United States, with prairie remnant metadata

This is the core data for RELIX, a dataset of vascular plant species presence for 353 prairie remnants in the Midwestern United States and associated dataset of prairie remnant metadata. The primary data file contains a list of the vascular plant species observed in the prairie remnants, as well as a metadata table with more information about the prairie remnant in question and the species list itself. The data was compiled from a variety of written sources, private and published, chronicling observations made between the mid-twentieth century and 2021. It also contains a supplementary data table of vascular plant species observed in at least 8 of the prairie remnants in RELIX, as well as a list of acknowledgements for the associated manuscript.

这是RELIX的核心数据，该数据集包含美国中西部353个草原残遗区的维管植物物种存在记录及相关草原残遗区元数据。主数据文件包含草原残遗区中观察到的维管植物物种列表，以及元数据表——后者涵盖了相关草原残遗区和物种列表本身的更多信息。该数据汇编自多种书面来源（包括私人与已发表资料），记录了20世纪中期至2021年间的观察结果。此外，数据集还包含一个补充数据表（列出在RELIX中至少8个草原残遗区观察到的维管植物物种），以及相关手稿的致谢名单。
