Plant establishment is the result of sequential demographic processes, namely post-dispersal seed survival, seed germination, seedling survival and sapling survival. These processes can be quantified as transition probabilities between life stages through field experiments, and their product provides an overall establishment probability. This information is essential to understand demography within populations and plant colonization potential under global change scenarios. The Mediterranean Region constitutes a biodiversity hotspot characterised by severe summer droughts, which suppose a critical demographic bottleneck for perennial plant establishment. Despite many studies have quantified transition probabilities of woody species in this region, information is scattered through the literature and has not yet been compiled. To fill this gap, we collated data from a systematic literature review and completed them with new unpublished data to create the EstablishMed dataset.

EstablishMed，地中海地区木本植物建立的转变概率数据集


植物建立是连续人口统计过程的结果，即传播后种子存活、种子发芽、幼苗存活和幼苗存活。这些过程可以通过现场实验量化为生命阶段之间的转变概率，其乘积提供了总体建立概率。这些信息对于了解全球变化情景下种群内的人口统计学和植物定植潜力至关重要。地中海地区是一个生物多样性热点地区，其特点是严重的夏季干旱，这为多年生植物的生长带来了关键的人口瓶颈。尽管许多研究已经量化了该地区木本物种的转变概率，但信息分散在文献中并且尚未汇编。为了填补这一空白，我们整理了系统文献综述中的数据，并用新的未发表的数据完成了这些数据，以创建EstablishMed数据集。
