The ArgVeg is a repository of vegetation-plots data registered in the Global Index Vegetation Databases (GIVD ID: SA-AR-002). This report presents its main characteristics, potential uses, and future perspectives. In September 2022, database contained 1092 vegetation-plot records, including 1184 valid native non-native vascular plants. covers vegetation types nine units Chaco, Espinal Pampean phytogeographic provinces central Argentina. Those include forests, shrublands, grasslands, halophytic woody communities present either lowlands or mountain areas. represents significant improvement availability floristic information from subtropical warm temperate areas South America, which still major knowledge gap worldwide. reflects outstanding plant diversity Argentina it managed by Plant Ecology Phytogeography Group at Multidisciplinary Institute Biology (Córdoba, Argentina). Not only high biodiversity but also complex landscape heterogeneity are most important characteristics this region. We hope to increase number plots near strengthen regional global networks enhance conservation management these endangered ecosystems.
