Description

This data set is used to explore the altitudinal shift of Abies pinsapo Boiss. in the Baetic System. We analysed the potential distribution of the realised and reproductive niches of A. pinsapo populations in the Ronda Mountains (Southern Spain) by using species distribution models (SDMs) for two life stages within the current populations. The realised and reproductive niches of A. pinsapo are different to one another, which may indicate a displacement in its altitudinal distribution.

Methods

The presence of Abies pinsapo in the Baetic Mountain Range was verified in sampling campaigns that took place in 2012 and 2013. A total of 141 stands of natural origin were sampled, in wich the presence of the different life stages was recorded. Three datasets were arranged for a SDM analysis, based on the presence of the life stages of interest. Two of those groups consisted of stands including individuals at either extreme of the age distribution (i.e., "sapling" and "mature"), while the third included all of the stands recorded (i.e., "whole"); these were defined as follows:

  • Sapling: stands that included the presence of young individuals whose height did not exceed 40 cm; n = 41.
  • Mature: stands that included the presence of individuals whose diameter at 130 cm above the ground (dbh) exceeded 20 cm; n = 134.
  • Whole: included all of the stands of natural origin, regardless of the life stages they included; n = 141.
