Dataset Description

Plant species information extracted from the South African National Red List (http://redlist.sanbi.org/index.php). The list of species includes taxa as categorised by the Red List as Extinct, Critically Endangered Possibly Extinct, and a sample of extant taxa (Critically Endangered, Endangered, Vulnerable, Near Threatened, Least Concern) totaling 946 taxa. The information included are Genspec (UniqueID), Group (Extinct, Threatened or not-Threatened), Life form (LF), Growth form (GF), Fam (taxonomic family), South African biome that the taxa occur in, national Red List status, Range size in km2, threats impacting the species as identified during Red List assessment indicated using binary coding (Yes/No) for Habitat loss, Habitat degradation, Invasive alien species (IAS), Other, Over-exploitation, Pollution, Unknown. This dataset was used to classify taxa as EX, threatened or not-threatened to identify which predictors are the most important for classifying taxa as extinct using Rando...
