Data and code from: Echoes of the past: Long-term climate stability shapes functional and phylogenetic diversity in Euro-Mediterranean forests

This dataset contains the processed inputs, null-model outputs, and R scripts used to quantify functional and phylogenetic diversity across multiple vertebrate and plant taxa in Euro-Mediterranean forests. It includes gridded environmental and anthropogenic drivers (50 × 50 km), indices of functional and phylogenetic richness, dispersion, and originality derived from observed data, and the corresponding values generated by null models. All analyses—from data preparation to random forest models and figure production—are reproducible using the provided scripts and the make.R workflow, beginning at the stage where null-model outputs are available. Raw species and trait data are not included because distribution rights are held by external data providers (cf., README file). The dataset supports reuse for comparative analyses of biodiversity metrics, and exploration of diversity–environment relationships across taxa and facets (cite as Dryad repository).
