Geographic occurrences and sea surface temperature data of non-native macrophytes in the Mediterranean Sea across both native and non-native ranges [Dataset]

The dataset provides data of geographic occurrences of non-native marine macrophytes in the Mediterranean Sea over 200 years. It includes occurrences in their native biogeographical range, along with sea surface temperature data for both the Mediterranean Sea and the native range. Additionally, it provides measures of spread, such as least coastal distances and the number of invaded grid cells, aiding in the calculation of linear spread rates, accumulated, and new invaded areas by non-native macrophytes in the Mediterranean Sea, as outlined in Wesselmann et al., 2024.
