The 711-occurrence compilation is bounded to 66 Ma–present, named Western/Central European countries, tree genera, and PBDB/literature sources, with explicit Pleistocene stage/interglacial and Holocene WCVP coverage rather than an undifferentiated all-time/all-region sample. MEASUREMENT

Exact excerpt

711 fossil occurrences of tree genera during the Cenozoic (66 Ma – present) from Western and Central Europe (including Austria, Belgium, Czechia, France, Germany, Ireland, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Poland, Switzerland, and United Kingdom) were compiled using the Paleobiology Database and literature. For the Pleistocene, additional fossil occurrences dated to five temperate stages and interglacial periods were included; Holocene occurrences were obtained from the World Checklist of Vascular Plants. The final fossil dataset comprised 711 occurrences from PBDB and literature.
