Dataset: Cliff-edge forests: xerothermic hotspots of local biodiversity and models for future climate change

Data related to the paper called: Cliff-edge forests: xerothermic hotspots of local biodiversity and models for future climate change. Published in: Global Change Biology (2024) Data Microclimatic data (24 data loggers): 24 files "data_....csv" with microclimatic data and an overview "24 loggers general data.csv", with the information about the data loggers (location, etc.). Author: Yann Fragnière Vegetation relevés performed in cliff edge forests: excel file "Cliff-edge forests relevés - list of taxa and cover.xlsx", including all the taxa and coordinates (relevés of 100 m2). Author: Yann Fragnière Vegetation relevé included in the Swiss Forest Vegetation Database: excel file “Swiss Forest Vegetation Database (524 relevés).xlsx”, including two sheets (1 with relevés details, 1 with taxa). These data are part of the Swiss Forest Vegetation Database (Wohlgemuth, 2012; https://www.givd.info/ID/EU-CH-005, doi:10.7809/b-e.00131) and can also be requested through the European Vegetation Archive (https://euroveg.org/eva-database/).The data were collected by various contributors between about 1920 to 1994, see details in the excel files.
