<b>30 by 30 for plant diversity: how can we protect more of nature?</b>

<b>specimen_localities_for_mapping_FD.csv</b>Point localities of specimens held in natural history collections for a random sample of 575 angiosperm species that all occur in the continent of Africa. Some of the localities were georeferenced as part of this research. Localities were spatially disaggregated using the R package <i>ecospat</i> prior to use in Species Distribution Models that were then used to spatially project biodiversity metrics.Fields:1.
