Patterns of plant functional traits in the biogeography of West African grasses (ascii grids).

Species distributions modelled with Maxent and aggregated for functional groups counting for each grid cell all species above the MSST threshold, then divided by all species within the grid cell to get the percentage of the particular group. Published with more details on methods and primary data in: Schmidt M, Thiombiano A, Zizka A, Koenig K, Brunken U, Zizka G (2011) Patterns of plant functional traits in the biogeography of West African grasses. African Journal of Ecology 49: 490-500.
