Tree planting occurrences

Study Extent

South Africa

Sampling

The iNaturalist data used in this study were obtained from observations recorded by community scientists and naturalists on the iNaturalist platform. This dataset comprises geo-referenced records of planted tree taxa identified in various locations across South Africa

Quality Control

Records were carefully checked to verify the accuracy of taxon identifications, locality data, and categorization as planted rather than wild-growing trees.

Method steps

1. A description of the steps taken to develop the database will be too lengthy to include here – these details can be found in the published manuscript.
