Abstract: Background: The bamboos (Poaceae, Bambusoideae) are important ecological and economic resources distributed across five continents. Maps of the distribution of the four major bamboo clades are popular in the scientific and trade literature. To date, these global scale maps have been drawn manually through various means. Despite their general accuracy, previous maps lack the ability to repeatably reconstruct them as new data becomes available. New information: This work develops a workflow and predicts potential and realised distribution maps for the four major bamboo clades using MaxEnt "species" distribution modelling, based on vetted natural history specimen records. The source data, scripts and resultant products are provided creating a Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable (FAIR) dataset and workflow.
