Providing a complete data set with species and trait information for a given area is essential for assessing plant conservation, management, and ecological restoration, both for local as well as global applications. Also, these data sets provide additional information for surveys or data collections, establishing the starting point for more detailed studies on plant evolution, vegetation dynamics, and vegetation responses to disturbance and management. This database covers Sierra Nevada mountains (southeastern Spain), a recognized plant biodiversity hotspot within the Mediterranean context. According to previous available data (before this augmented compilation), these mountains host 7% of the 24,000 Mediterranean vascular plants, despite covering just 0.01% of its area. Another characteristic of the Sierra Nevada is the great singularity of its flora, with 95 taxa being endemic to the high-mountain area of Sierra Nevada and surroundings. From these endemic taxa, 70% are endangered by different threats, global warming being a leading cause. In this paper, we seek to provide a complete and updated database of the flora of the Sierra Nevada mountains (southeast Spain). The goal of the present data set is to compile the names of all the vascular plant taxa inhabiting Sierra Nevada, together with relevant features including taxonomical, morphological-ecological traits, distribution, habitats, abundance, and conservation status. The data were compiled according to all the available information sources on taxonomy, ecology, and plant-species distribution. The resulting data set includes 2,348 taxa belonging to 1,937 species, 377 subspecies and 34 hybrids, from a total of 756 genera and 146 families represented in the collection. For each taxa, together with taxonomical information (Phylum, Class, Family, Genus, Taxa), we compiled plant traits (life-form, spinescence, flower symmetry, flower sexuality, plant gender, androecium:gynoecium ratio, flower color, perianth type, pollinator type, flowering, seed dispersal, vegetative reproduction), and their environmental association (origin, endemic character, general distribution, substrate, elevation, habitat, local abundance, hygrophilous behavior, conservation status). All these traits were compiled from all the available information sources, resulting in a complete and updated database for Sierra Nevada vascular flora. This data set provides valuable information on plant traits in an outstanding micro-hotspot within the Mediterranean hotspot. This data set can be freely used for non-commercial purposes.

FloraSNevada：西班牙东南部内华达山脉维管植物群的性状数据库

提供包含特定区域物种和性状信息的完整数据集对于评估本地和全球应用的植物保护、管理和生态恢复至关重要。此外，这些数据集为调查或数据收集提供了额外的信息，为更详细地研究植物进化、植被动态以及植被对干扰和管理的响应奠定了起点。该数据库涵盖内华达山脉（西班牙东南部），这是地中海地区公认的植物生物多样性热点。根据之前的可用数据（在此增强汇编之前），这些山脉拥有 24,000 种地中海维管束植物中的 7%，尽管仅占其面积的 0.01%。内华达山脉的另一个特点是其植物群的巨大奇异性，有 95 个分类群是内华达山脉和周边地区的高山地区特有的。在这些地方性分类群中，70% 受到不同威胁的威胁，全球变暖是一个主要原因。在本文中，我们力求提供一个完整且更新的内华达山脉（西班牙东南部）植物群数据库。本数据集的目标是汇编居住在内华达山脉的所有维管植物类群的名称，以及相关特征，包括分类、形态-生态特征、分布、栖息地、丰度和保护状况。数据是根据所有可用的分类学、生态学和植物物种分布信息来源编制的。生成的数据集包括 2,348 个属于 1、937 种、377 个亚种和 34 个杂种，共 756 个属和 146 个科。对于每个分类群，连同分类信息（门、纲、科、属、分类群），我们编制了植物性状（生命形式、刺状、花对称性、花性、植物性别、雄蕊：雌蕊比例、花颜色、花被类型、传粉媒介类型、开花、种子传播、营养繁殖）及其环境关联（起源、地方性特征、一般分布、基质、海拔、栖息地、当地丰度、湿润行为、保护状况）。所有这些特征都是从所有可用的信息源中汇编而成的，从而形成了一个完整且更新的内华达山脉维管植物群数据库。该数据集提供了有关地中海热点内一个显着微热点中植物性状的宝贵信息。该数据集可以免费用于非商业目的。此数据集已根据知识共享署名 4.0 国际许可 (CC BY 4.0) 获得许可。当您使用此数据集时，我们要求您引用数据和此数据文件。
