Species composition and plant traits of south Atlantic European coastal dunes and other comparative data

Abstract

The data reported in this article relates to the research article entitled “Changes in plant diversity patterns along dune zonation in south Atlantic European coasts” (Torca et al., 2019) [1]. Data about traits of species from coastal dunes, a synoptic table and PERMANOVA comparisons are given. The information detailed in the methodology section can be used as a guide to perform analyses on taxonomic, functional and phylogenetic diversity.
