Northwest Iberian Peninsula Selection (NIPS) a global bryophyte occurrences dataset

[EN] Dataset of publicly available biodiversity information of global bryophyte records from the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF; phylum=Bryophyta) of a selection of 33 bryophytes species. Species were selected by their presence in more of 15 forests of the 107 forests in the Northwest Iberian Peninsula dataset of the publication of Medina et al.(2015, Front. Biogeogr. 7). It contains 527,191 records, result of the compilation, cleaning, enrichment and validation from the Global Biodiversity Information Facility and specialized checklists (Hill et al, 2006. An annotated checklist of the mosses of Europe and Macaronesia. J. Bryol. 28, 198–267.; and Ros et al, 2013. Mosses of the Mediterranean, an annotated checklist. Cryptogam. Bryol. 34, 99–283.), The Plant List (http://www.theplantlist.org/) and TROPICOS (https://tropicos.org/home). This database was created to build the models of bioclimatic niche hypervolumes of the bryophyte species for the publication of Hurtado et al. 2023 (Hurtado, F., Gonçalves, J., Hespanhol, H., Ronquillo, C., Estébanez, B., Aragón, P., Medina, N.G., Hortal, J., 2023. Bioclimatic niche similarity and species relatedness shift their influence on species co-occurrence in bryophyte forest communities across scales.[submitted for publication] for the Northwest Iberian bryophytes selected. It helps to characterize, in combination with bioclimatic datasets, the bioclimatic niches of the bryophytes selected, assesing the conditions met for the co-occurrences of the bryophyte species at different scales.
