Dataset for De Pauw et al. (2024) Nutrient-demanding and thermophilous plants dominate urban forest edge vegetation across temperate Europe

Understorey plant community data and statistical code

* vegetation matrix

* species list with species' characteristics

* dataset with vegetation response variables and predictor variables used in mixed models

R code scripts

* script with mixed models explaining vegetation response variables by urban edge distance, forest structure and interaction

*script with mixed models explaining vegetation response variables by PCA predictor variables based on soil conditions and microclimate variables & drivers

*script that produces figures with vegetation response predictions in terms of urban edge distance and forest structure
