The tropical and subtropical forests along the coast and interior of South America used to have one of the largest forests in the world – the Atlantic Forest – with more than 1.6 million km² spanning Brazil, Argentina, and Paraguay. The ATLANTIC: Data Papers from a biodiversity hotspot includes a series of Data Papers about the community composition, distribution of plants and animals, and environmental characteristics from the Atlantic Forest. These papers are a fundamental tool for both scientists and policy makers.
The goal of this package is to provide data from the ATLANTIC, a series of data papers by Ecology on biodiversity data from the Atlantic Forest. Currently, there are 17 data sets: nine about vertebrates, two about vertebrate traits, two about invertebrates, three about interactions animal-plant, one about plant, and one about spatial data.
