Description
Summary:The study of plant diversity is often hindered by the challenge of integrating data from different sources and different data types. A standardized data system would facilitate detailed exploration of plant distribution patterns and dynamics for botanists, ecologists, conservation biologists, and biogeographers. This study proposes a gridded vector data integration method, combining grid-based techniques with vectorization to integrate diverse data types from multiple sources into grids of the same scale. Here we demonstrate the methodology by creating a comprehensive 1° × 1° database of western China that includes plant distribution information and environmental factor data. This approach addresses the need for a standardized data system to facilitate exploration of plant distribution patterns and dynamic changes in the region.
