See also: a) Desert Trees of the World Database (@ Tropicos), by Thibaud Aronson, Edouard Le Floc’h and James Aronson : http://legacy.tropicos.org/Project/Desert%20Trees. Desert Trees of the World is a database of trees and tree-like plants found in arid and semi-arid regions of the Earth. It is based on herbarium studies, literature review, our extensive field work over the past several decades on all the continents except Antarctica. In the database we describe 1579 species of trees native to deserts around the world, occurring in 423 genera and 100 families of flowering plants. Of course, new tree species are still occasionally being discovered, mainly coming out of Madagascar, Namibia, Somalia, and southern Arabia, but we are confident that we have captured the great majority of all extant dryland trees in this database ; b) Desert Trees of the World – A new database for ecological restoration : https://mbgecologicalrestoration.wordpress.com/2019/08/27/desert-trees-of-the-world-a-new-database-for-ecological-restoration/
