This data set describes distriution data of 52 plant, tree and moss species from New Zealand's
National Vegetation Survey databank (nvs.landcareresearch.co.nz).
It was used for the NCEAS working group, for instance in the model publication Elith et al. (2006). This project was based on 6 international data sets which are described elsewhere.
Here the data are described in generic terms so that transparent and repeatable research can be carried out and for benchmark assessments of model applications and creative use of data for conservation purposes.
For modeling purposes, this plant data set was extended with 13 predictors and it carries a cell size of 100m.
The mean number of records per species is 59, for presence absence it is 1801. Overall, the dataset consists of 19,120 sites.
This dataset about plants of New Zealand is provided as a proper description of ISO-compliant FGDC open access data for research purposes. This metadata set complements several research publications in the NCEAS working group, namly Elith et al. (2006).
