Abstract:
This data set contains plot data on climate, land area, land use, primary productivity, conservation and domestic mammals for explaining the diversity of wild mammals on Mount Kilimanjaro, Tanzania. This data set includes data on mammal diversity from 66 study plots along elevation and land use gradients on Mount Kilimanjaro.
