Abstract

The file ”SpeciesRichness and Biomas” contains data on species richness and biomass. The file ”SpeciesRichnessFunctionalGroups” contains data on species richness of four functional groups (forb, grass, graminoid, legume) as well as the sum of the cover of these four functional groups. The data comes from the Nutrient Network database (2024, 2025). The methods used for data collection are described in Borer et al. (2014). The data is used in the upcoming publication Spohn et al. (accepted): Intense solar radiation constrains plant species richness in global grasslands. PNAS. 2026.
