are some very particular vegetation types like Mediterranean sand dunes (EU-00-016) with n=3713 not overrepresented in a global dataset?

Good point. This must be a consequence of the HCR algorithm used to select plots, which maximizes the compositional variability in different environmental grid cells. There's little we can do about that, I'm afraid.
