Global aquatic Isoëtes Database (acronym GaID) as of 2024

Isoëtes are iconic but understudied wetland plants, despite having suffered severe losses globally mainly because of alterations in their habitats. We therefore provide the first global, comprehensive data set of aquatic Isoëtes and their habitats. We compiled a global database that includes all known environmental data collected from 1935 to 2023 regarding aquatic Isoëtes. This resulted in 2,179 records. The environmental data taken at Isoëtes' sampling stations varied but may include measures of water quality, water depth, and substrate composition.
