Big Data of Tree Species Distributions: How Big and How Good?. Serra-Diaz, J. M., Enquist, B. J., Maitner, B., Merow, C., & Svenning, J. Forest Ecosystems, 4(1):30+, 2018.
doi  abstract   bibtex   
Trees play crucial roles in the biosphere and societies worldwide, with a total of 60,065 tree species currently identified. Increasingly, a large amount of data on tree species occurrences is being generated worldwide: from inventories to pressed plants. While many of these data are currently available in big databases, several challenges hamper their use, notably geolocation problems and taxonomic uncertainty. Further, we lack a complete picture of the data coverage and quality assessment for open/public databases of tree occurrences.
