ToTE: A global database on trees of the treeline ecotone

The database deals with the trees of the treeline ecotone worldwide. The ToTE (Trees of Treeline Ecotone) includes data on 208 tree species distributed across 34 mountain regions of the world. The database on the global tree species richness of the treeline is based on systematic review of 1202 studies published from 1962-2022. The database follows the scientific nomenclature as per Plants of the World Online (2022), the mountain classification as per Global Mountain Biodiversity Assessment (GMBA) Mountain Inventory v_2.0 (2022) and the biome classification as per Koppen and provides the current conservation status of the taxa as per IUCN (2022) ver. 2本数据集聚焦全球林线交错带（treeline ecotone）的树木类群。林线交错带树木数据集（Trees of Treeline Ecotone，简称ToTE）收录了分布于全球34个山地区域的208个树种的相关数据。该全球林线树种丰富度数据库基于1962年至2022年间发表的1202项研究的系统综述构建而成。本数据集遵循《世界植物在线（Plants of the World Online，2022）》的科学命名规范、全球山地生物多样性评估（Global Mountain Biodiversity Assessment, GMBA）山地名录v2.0（2022）的山地分类标准，以及柯本（Koppen）的生物群系分类体系，并提供了各分类单元当前依据国际自然保护联盟（International Union for Conservation of Nature, IUCN，2022年第2版）红色名录确定的保护现状。
