Systematic review of the used of statistics in restoration ecology of arid areas.

Datasheet for a systematic review of the use of statistics in restoration ecology of arid areas. The purpose of this review was to examine the use of statistics in restoration ecology. 369 papers were found using the search terms restor* AND desert in ISI Web of Science. After papers that did not address restoration or were not conducted in arid environment 114 papers remained. These papers were examined and data conserning the use of statistics were extracted. This was examined to assess the use of statistics in the field as well as determine if there were any gaps in statistical analysis.

本数据集对应一项针对干旱地区恢复生态学（restoration ecology）中统计学应用的系统综述（systematic review）。本次综述的核心目标为系统梳理恢复生态学领域内统计学方法的应用现状。研究团队以"restor* AND desert"为检索式，在ISI Web of Science数据库中共检索获取369篇文献。经初筛，剔除未涉及生态恢复或研究区域并非干旱环境的文献后，最终纳入114篇有效文献。研究人员对该批文献进行全面审核，并提取与统计学方法应用相关的各项数据，以此评估该领域内统计学方法的整体应用情况，同时研判当前统计分析环节存在的研究缺口。
