- Abstract
A response has been made to concerns raised about the data quality underlying a recent floristic map of the world. The concerns suggested that non-native distribution records and incomplete sampling may have biased the findings. However, after re-analyzing the data and updating the databases, it was found that these issues were not as serious as suggested. The proportion of non-native distributions in the database was lower than reported, and the regionalization map remained largely unchanged. The study used a wide range of data sources and addressed the issue of incomplete sampling. The authors conclude that non-native distributions did not bias the results of the study.
