Global patterns and drivers of alpine plant species richness

The repository contains:1) Spreadsheet with plot coordinates and regions;2) Longtable format spreadsheet with species lists for each plot used estimate regional species richness;3) Predictors of regional and community species richness;4) RData file containing all the above;4) The R code used to reproduce the main outputs in the article.An on-line interactive map displaying the spatial distribution of the vegetation plots in all regions is available at: https://torpignattaro.users.earthengine.app/view/global-alpine-data
