Data of plant diversity, spectral reflectance at specie level and satellite spectral variables from the largest dry forest nucleus in South America

The use of satellite remote sensing makes it possible to acquire useful information about the environment, since it presents tools capable of assisting the practical search of information related to species richness. Here we present data on richness and Shannon index from phytosociological researche...
