VegVault in Scientific Data!
I’m delighted to share that our VegVault paper has been officially published in Scientific Data! 🎉
The paper “VegVault dataset: linking global paleo-, and neo-vegetation data with functional traits and abiotic drivers” is now available in peer-reviewed form.
What is VegVault?
VegVault is an interdisciplinary SQL database that bridges the gap between paleo- and neo-ecological plot-based vegetation data, species functional traits, and abiotic information including climate and soil data. This resource is designed to facilitate large-scale analyses of vegetation dynamics across space and time.
Resources
All VegVault resources remain freely available:
- VegVault website
- VegVault Database v1.0.0
- {vaultkeepr} R-package - An R interface for easy database access
