Data underlying the publication: Characterisation of communities of terrestrial non-target plants (NTTPs) in field margins through a review of literature and databases

The study has collected data about the species composition of plant communities and traits of non-target terrestrial plants (NTTPs) in the off-field area in arable land. The species composition of plant communities of non-target plants from the literature was compared to that of the EVA database (European Vegetation Archive). Based on the conclusion that the overlap was 75 %, the list of species in field margins from the EVA database with an occurrence of 5% and higher was taken as the list for which 12 traits were collected from databases and literature sources.
