The 2016 release of the PREDICTS database [SUPERSEDED]

IMPORTANT NOTICE: THIS VERSION OF THE DATABASE HAS BEEN SUPERSEDED

Data review in 2021-2023 has resulted in some changes and additions to the database. The new version (version 1.1), is available for non-commercial use [https://data.nhm.ac.uk/dataset/the-2016-release-of-the-predicts-database-v1-1].

A dataset of 3,250,404 measurements, collated from 26,114 sampling locations in 94 countries and representing 47,044 species. The data were collated from 480 existing spatial comparisons of local-scale biodiversity exposed to different intensities and types of anthropogenic pressures, from terrestrial sites around the world. The database was assembled as part of the PREDICTS project - Projecting Responses of Ecological Diversity In Changing Terrestrial Systems.

The taxonomic identifications provided in the original data sets are those determined at the time of the original research, and so will not reflect subsequent taxonomic changes.

This dataset is described in 10.1002/ece3.2579. A description of the way that this dataset was assembled is given in 10.1002/ece3.1303.
