Exposure of threatened plant species to changing drought regimes: a global analysis

This dataset is from an article to determine the exposure of threatened plant species to future increases in drought duration and frequency. We quantified the exposure of Red Listed plant species to future drought regimes by intersecting species' geographic ranges with global projections of drought duration and frequency. In threatened trees and shrubs species, data on hydraulic measures of sensitivity to drought are scarce, with key data available for only six species assessed for expsoure which we also intersected in this study. All data are available in this dryad repository. , , # Exposure of threatened plant species to changing drought regimes: a global analysis Dataset DOI: [10.5061/dryad.0p2ngf2cb](10.5061/dryad.0p2ngf2cb) ## Description of the data and file structure Both raw data and cleaned data used for the manuscript 'Exposure of threatened plant species to changing drought regimes: a global analysis'.
