摘要The study of plant diversity is often hindered by the challenge of integrating data from different sources and different data types.A standardized data system would facilitate detailed exploration of plant dis-tribution patterns and dynamics for botanists,ecologists,conservation biologists,and biogeographers.This study proposes a gridded vector data integration method,combining grid-based techniques with vectorization to integrate diverse data types from multiple sources into grids of the same scale.Here we demonstrate the methodology by creating a comprehensive 1° × 1° database of western China that includes plant distribution information and environmental factor data.This approach addresses the need for a standardized data system to facilitate exploration of plant distribution patterns and dynamic changes in the region.
