Data from: Global plant ecology of tropical ultramafic ecosystems

This is a compiled geospatial dataset in ESRI polygon shapefile format of
ultramafic soils of the neotropics showing the location of ultramafic
soils in Guatemala, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Costa Rica,
Colombia, Argentina, Chile, Venezuela, Ecuador, Brazil, Suriname, French
Guiana, and Bolivia. The data are derived from seven geospatial datasets.
Original datasets were subset to include only ultramafic areas, datasets
were assigned a common projection (WGS84), attribute tables were
reconciled to a common set of fields, and the datasets were combined. The
dataset includes three components: 1) a geospatial dataset in ESRI polygon
shapefile format of ultramafic soils of the neotropics showing the
location of ultramafic soils in Guatemala, Cuba, Dominican Republic,
Puerto Rico, Costa Rica, Colombia, Argentina, Chile, Venezuela, Ecuador,
Brazil, Suriname, French Guiana, and Bolivia. 2) A regional-specific
bibliography for all tropical ultramafic regions discussed in the original
manuscript (Garnica-Diaz et al. 2022), and 3) an updated list in .csv
format of major ultramafic outcrops worldwide including their latitude and
longitude coordinates.
