Plant diversity darkspots for global collection priorities: time-to-event datasets per botanical country as defined by the World Geographical Scheme for Recording Plant Distributions (WGSRPD). (Q6687678)

Datasets used to predict the number of plant species remaining to be described and/or geolocated within a botanical country, which represents the third level of subdivision (generally equating to a political country) used by WGSRPD for recording plant distributions. The folder is composed of two subfolders has_coords and has_no_coords containing the time-to-event data for species with valid and no (invalidated) occurrence records within a given botanical country respectively. Each folder contains a list of 361 botanical countries with the following 16 fields: species: species nametime_ofdescription: year of the (first) descriptiontime_ofcollection: year of the collection of the earliest recordfamily: species family namelifeform_description: the life form categorised into 4 classes CHELSA_bio_1: annual mean temperature (C)CHELSA_bio_12: annual precipiation (mm)CHELSA_bio_15: temperature seasonality (-)CHELSA_bio_4: precipitation seasonality (-)elevation: elevation (m)range_size_area: total area of the botanical countries encompassing the species' native range according to the World Checklist of Vascular Plants (WCVP) (km^2) taxo_activity: taxonomic activity calculated as the number of named authors in the World Checklist of Vascular Plantsdescribing species from the same family during the year of description of the species,divided by the number of species described within the given family that year. num_records_per_year: geographic activity calculated as the number of occurrence recordscollected within the native range of the species, divided by the number of years between the earliest and the lastest (first) record collected within this range.num_uses: number of human usestime_todescription: number of years between the (first) description and 1753time_tocollection: number of years between the (first) description and the collection of the first record of the species
