Global biodiversity patterns of marine forests of brown macroalgae (figshare supporting information incl. predictive spatial layers)

Global biodiversity patterns of marine forests of brown macroalgae (figshare supporting information incl. predictive spatial layers) is an open dataset published by figshare, under CC BY 4.0. It describes kelp forests and macroalgae. Coverage: global coastlines, present-day (Bio-ORACLE 2000-2017 predictors). Biohotspot shows it on its map as 1,261 layers.
