Abstract *

<p>The GLOBALP vegetation database (GIVD ID 00-00-007) is the first global collection of georeferenced vegetation plots from alpine regions, with a particular focus on non-European mountains. Currently, it houses 2,796 vegetation plots from different parts of the world, including North America (United States), South America (Peru), Africa (Tanzania, South Africa), Asia (Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, Nepal, Mongolia, Russia), and Oceania (Indonesian Papua, Papua New Guinea). The plots encompass a wide range of alpine vegetation formations, including temperate and boreal alpine vegetation, tropical montane grassland and shrubland, and tropical high montane scrub and grassland. Plot sizes range from 1 to 500 m², and geographic coordinates are recorded using GPS, estimated from maps, or based on localities, with varying levels of precision. The database includes both published and novel data, providing comprehensive coverage of zonal vascular vegetation above the natural climatic treeline. Each plot contains a full list of vascular plant species and their respective cover values. GLOBALP is part of sPlot &#8211; the largest repository for plant community data in the world &#8211; and is aleady contributing to research projects in biogeography, macroecology, and conservation biology.</p>
