Dataset of Phenology of Mediterranean high-mountain meadows flora (Sierra Nevada, Spain) Pérez Luque, Antonio Jesús Sánchez-Rojas, Cristina Patricia Zamora Rodríguez, Regino Jesús Pérez-Pérez, Ramón Bonet, Francisco Javier Wet high-mountain meadows Abundance Phenology Sierra Nevada (Spain) Long-term research Global change monitoring Occurrence Observation Sierra Nevada mountain range (southern Spain) hosts a high number of endemic plant species, being one of the most important biodiversity hotspots in the Mediterranean basin. The high-mountain meadow ecosystems (borreguiles) harbour a large number of endemic and threatened plant species. In this data paper, we describe a dataset of the flora inhabiting this threatened ecosystem in this Mediterranean mountain. The dataset includes occurrence data for flora collected in those ecosystems in two periods: 1988–1990 and 2009–2013. A total of 11002 records of occurrences belonging to 19 orders, 28 families 52 genera were collected. 73 taxa were recorded with 29 threatened taxa. We also included data of cover-abundance and phenology attributes for the records. The dataset is included in the Sierra Nevada Global-Change Observatory (OBSNEV), a long-term research project designed to compile socio-ecological information on the major ecosystem types in order to identify the impacts of global change in this area. 2015-04-17T10:24:57Z 2015-04-17T10:24:57Z 2015 journal article Pérez-Luque, A.J.; et al.
