Drawing on recent advances in expert elicitation to ensure data consistency, 200 experts were convened using a modified-Delphi process to estimate {\textquoteleft}intactness scores{\textquoteright}: the remaining proportion of an {\textquoteleft}intact{\textquoteright} reference population of a species group in a particular land use, on a scale from 0 (no remaining individuals) to 1 (same abundance as the reference) and, in rare cases, to 2 (populations that thrive in human-modified landscapes). The resulting bii4africa dataset contains intactness scores representing terrestrial vertebrates (tetrapods: $\pm$5,400 amphibians, reptiles, birds, mammals) and vascular plants ($\pm$45,000 forbs, graminoids, trees, shrubs) in sub-Saharan Africa across the region{\textquoteright}s major land uses (urban, cropland, rangeland, plantation, protected, etc.) and intensities (e.g., large-scale vs smallholder cropland). This dataset was co-produced as part of the Biodiversity Intactness Index for Africa Project. Additional uses include assessing ecosystem condition; rectifying geographic/taxonomic biases in global biodiversity indicators and maps; and informing the Red List of Ecosystems.}}, journal = {{Scientific data}}, volume = {11}, number = {1}, eid = {191}, }
