Abstract
Inputs, outputs, and scripts used in the model that supports the findings of the article "Threats of Land Use to the Global Diversity of Vascular Plants". We first calculated the extinction threat at ecoregion level using the countryside species-area model. Next, we allocated the regional extinction threats to land use. Finally, we calculated the global extinction threat per ecoregion and land use.
In this repository, you will find the inputs necessary to run the model, the R scripts to run the model, and the outputs of the model.

In this repository, you can find the processed data used as inputs for the model. These inputs are stored in .rds files that can be read in R.

The land use classes and area derived from LUH2 land use map:

As the LUH2 land use map does not have land use intensities, we assigned intensely used pasture and intensely used cropland based on the inorganic nitrogen fertilization rate, assuming that a rate above 100 kg/ha characterizes intense use (Schipper et al., 2020; Temme & Verburg, 2011);

Endemism richness per ecoregion relative to the global richness of vascular plant species derived from the GBIF data set:

Results from model where variables were randomized
results_random_z_values_globio.rds and results_random_relative_endemism_richness_globio and results_random_RR_pv_globio.rds and results_random_natural_fractions_globio.rds
Respectively: results of model in which z-values are randomized among biomes; results of model in which relative endemism richness are randomized among ecoregions; results of model in which local relative plant species richness are randomized among land uses, with expectation of values for primary vegetation; results of model in which the fraction of natural and non-natural vegetation is randomized among ecoregions. These results are organized in lists containing the results of the simulations. Each list shows the percentage of species under extinction threat due to land use per ecoregion.

The script can be run for the default land use map (GLOBIO), for the LUH2 map and for the models in which z-values, relative endemism richness, local relative plant species richness and percentage of natural and non-natural area are randomized.
