  abstract = {{I}n the era of {B}ig {D}ata, {L}atin {A}merican countries and biomes remain underrepresented. {T}o remediate this issue, promoting repositories for biodiversity data focused on {L}atin {A}merica is a main priority. {V}eg{A}ndes -{D}pt the vegetation database for the {L}atin {A}merican highlands ({GIVD}: {SA}-00-005), is a novel dataset for georeferenced and standardized information on vascular pants in the region. {T}he database compiles 5,340 vegetation plots sampled above the montane treeline and below the permanent snowline in 11 {L}atin {A}merican countries and spanning over seven decades. {V}eg{A}ndes currently encompasses 5,804 taxon names, corresponding to 3,858 accepted names, as well as 136 syntaxon names. {T}he database is nested within a scientific consortium of {L}atin {A}merican experts. {O}n highland vegetation and piloted from the {U}niversity of the {A}ndes ({C}olombia). {B}ecause the {V}eg{A}ndes data can support multi-scale studies in botany, ecology and biogeography, the database makes an essential contribution to biodiversity research and management perspectives in {L}atin {A}merica.},
