Another key metric: community evolutionary distinctiveness (CED).
This tells us how many evolutionarily unique or isolated lineages a community contains.
Surprise: North America comes out on top, its forests host especially distinctive plant lineages.

Between regions, the biggest evolutionary gap was between west Eurasia and east Eurasia.
Forests in North America and east Eurasia, on the other hand, shared more evolutionary history than we expected.

We also looked at phylogenetic turnover, in simple terms, how different the evolutionary histories of forest communities are within and between regions.
East Eurasia showed the most uniform evolutionary makeup, while West Eurasia had the strongest internal differences.

First big takeaway: East Eurasia is the champion of plant species richness, especially when it comes to trees and shrubs.
West Eurasia, meanwhile, shines in herb diversity.
Forests may look similar at first glance, but evolution played out very differently in each region.

We pulled together ~9600 vegetation plots from across the Northern Hemisphere.
(Important note: this isn’t a complete sampling of the entire biome; these are the best available plot data, but big gaps remain!)
