Databases are sorted by overall taxon richness (‘taxa’ column).
^aSee metadata for details.
^bSee the four categories of databases described in the data collation section.
^cNumber of species only present in one database, excluding the Switchboard.
^dAdditional number of species if all documented by GTS were classified as tree-like in the Switchboard (see text for details).
^eThe same species feature in CIFOR-ICRAF’s EcoregionsTreeFinder¹⁷.
