Legal protection biases and gaps for China’s threatened vascular plants

The datasets contain a detailed list of China’s Key Vascular Plants, phylogenetic trees, species distribution data, raw outputs from species distribution models, and custom code scripts used for legal protection assessments of threatened vascular plants in China.Datasets involved:Folder: 1_List of China’s Key Vascular PlantsThis folder contains a list of China’s Key Vascular Plants with associated information, including taxonomic attributes, endemism status, protection level, threatened status, molecular data sampling, distribution data sampling, and growth form.List of China’s Key Vascular Plants with associated information.xlsxFolder: 2_Species distribution dataThis folder provides two geographical distribution tables for China’s Key Vascular Plants, including species names, their corresponding taxonomic attributes, and county/grid codes where they occur.CKVP distribution data-county level.csvCKVP distribution data-grid level.csvFolder: 3_Raw output from species distribution modelsThis folder contains a compressed package with three subfolders and a table summarizing statistics on the model outputs. Three subfolders of the zip file respectively contain the estimated ranges of 3,942 threatened vascular plant species in China, simulated using Mikrubi, under current conditions and two future climate scenarios for the 2070s (SSP1-2.6 and SSP5-8.5).Mikrubi_outputs.zipsummarizing statistics on the model outputs.xlsxFolder: 4_Phylogenetic dataThis folder contains two phylogenies used for phylogenetic analyses. The first is a dated phylogeny (Tactual) comprising all 2,112 species of China’s Key Vascular Plants with available molecular data. The second is a complete phylogeny (Tcomplete) that inserts the remaining 2,281 species without molecular data into Tactual using the V.PhyloMaker package, yielding a full phylogeny of all 4,393 species of China’s Key Vascular Plants.CKVP_actual_phylotree_2112tips.treCKVP_complete_phylotree_4393tips.treFolder: 5_ScriptsCode files related to data analyses and charting are in the Scripts folder.Calculation of Future Trends for Species Range Size.RPhylogenetic Signal Detection.RRun_Mikrubi.jl
