Extended Data Fig. 3: Corroboration of MCSE with citizen science and expert based vegetation data.
From: Urbanization signatures on climate and soils uncovered by crowd-sensed plants
Parallel evaluation of the correlation of indicator values calculated from 40,000 expert-based vegetation plots (sPlotOpen) vs calculated from crowd-sensed plant occurrences used by MCSE at the same locations with independent data of temperature and soil pH (see also Extended Data Fig. 2). The corroboration supports the usage of crowd-sensed plant occurrence data to calculate indicator values from both indicator value systems.
