Data from: Metrics for quantifying the contributions of different threats to Red Lists

The dataset contains data from four Norwegian Red Lists. Data included are the Red List Categories, reasons for change, and threats. These data were used to evaluate metrics for quantifying the contributions of different threats to Red Lists, described by Sandvik & Pedersen (2023).

The dataset contains six files:

species.csv (semicolon-delimited plain-text file with Red Lists for species)

Species.pdf (explanations of species.csv)

Species.xlsx (microsoft excel spreadsheet workbook with Red Lists for species)

ecosyst.csv (semicolon-delimited plain-text file with the Red List for ecosystems)

Ecosyst.pdf (explanations of ecosyst.csv)

Ecosyst.xlsx (microsoft excel spreadsheet workbook with the Red List for ecosystems)

The excel workbooks contain the same information as the respective csv and pdf files combined.

Columns, abbreviations etc. are explained in the excel and pdf files.

Data were derived from the following sources, all published by the Norwegian Biodiversity Information Centre:

  2010 Norwegian Red List for species

  2015 Norwegian Red List for species

  2018 Norwegian Red List for ecosystems and habitat types

  2021 Norwegian Red List for species
