Data from: Biotic homogenization and differentiation of plant communities in tropical and subtropical forests

The article is published in Conservation Biology and available at: https://doi.org/10.1111/cobi.14025

Here we developed a framework to assess the current 'state of the art' of biotic homogenization and differentiation processes in tropical and subtropical plant communities globally, using a systematic literature review.
