ClimPlant: realized climatic niches of vascular plants in European forest understoreys

The ClimPlant database contains information on the distribution of monthly, growing-season, and annual mean, minimum and maximum temperature and total precipitation within the distribution range of 968 European forest plants.<br>Data in 56 csv-files with 1000 values for monthly, growing season and annual observations of mean, minimum, maximum temperature and precipitation in the distribution range for every species. One summary csv-file with summary statistics (mean, median, 5^th and 95^th percentile) for every species, of each climatic variable, together with seven key geographical descriptors: area of the distribution range, latitude and longitude of the centroid, and northern, eastern, western and southern range limit within the study area. <br><br> More info in Vangansbeke et al., 2021, Global Ecology and Biogeography, 30(6), 1183–1190. https://doi.org/10.1111/geb.13303<br><br><b><br></b><b>ClimPlant: realized climatic niches of vascular plants in European forest understoreys</b><br><br> Pieter Vangansbeke ^a, František Máliš ^b, Radim Hédl ^c, Markéta Chudomelová ^c, Ondřej Vild ^c, Monika Wulf ^d, Ute Jahn ^d, Erik Welk ^e, Francisco Rodríguez-Sánchez ^f,g &amp; Pieter De Frenne ^a <i>^a</i><i> </i><i>Forest &amp; Nature Lab, Department of Environment, Ghent University, Geraardsbergsesteenweg 267, 9090 Melle-Gontrode, Belgium.</i> <i>^b</i><i>Faculty of Forestry, Technical University in Zvolen, T.
