Plant species (presence-absence records) and environmental data in each of the 912 plots. The Dubuis et al. (2011, Diversity and Distributions) paper uses the associated Dryad dataset of plant species distribution data and environmental variables to compare two approaches traditionally used to model plant species richness: stacked species distribution models (S-SDMs) and macroecological richness models (MEMs). Subsets of these data have also been used in previous or later papers by the same research group: Randin et al. (2006, J. Biogeography), Randin et al. (2009, Global Change Biology), Randin et al. (2009, Arctic, Antarctic and Alpine Research), Randin et al. (2009, J. Vegetation Science), Guisan & Rahbeck (2011, J. Biogeography), Pottier et al. (2013, Global Ecology and Biogeography), Ndiribe et al. (2013, Ecology & Evolution) and others (see full publication list under http://www.unil.ch/ecospat).
