Structural, ecological and biogeographical attributes of European vegetation alliances

Description

This is a database of structural, ecological and biogeographical attributes of 1115 European phytosociological alliances. The original version was published by Preislerová et al. (2024). This article also contained definitions and descriptions of individual attributes.

Version 2 of this dataset has been updated to match Version 3 of EuroVegChecklist (Mucina et al. 2016) published on https://floraveg.eu/download/. This version contains syntaxonomic changes in the vegetation of coastal dunes (classes Ammophiletea arundinaceae, Helichryso-Crucianelletea maritimae and Honckenyo peploidis-Leymetea arenarii), Mediterranean pine forests (order Pinetalia halepensis) and bogs (class Oxycocco-Sphagnetea) approved by the European Vegetation Classification Committee in January 2024 following the proposals published by Marcenò et al. (2018, 2024), Bonari et al. (2021) and Jiroušek et al. (2022), respectively.

The data are provided in two files with identical contents, one in the XLSX format, and the other in the TXT format with columns separated by tabs.
