Evaluating impacts of non-native submerged aquatic vegetation on native nekton

These data accompany the publication of the same name. We performed a quantitative meta-analysis to quantify impacts of non-native submerged aquatic vegetation on native crabs, fishes, and shrimps in coastal, estuarine, and marine systems. We found that nekton abundance, species richness, and biomass were the most assessed metrics of nekton performance. We extracted data from 35 studies and evaluated 11 response metrics related to inter-specific facilitation, restricting our analysis to studies that compared at least one of these metrics in nekton from co-occurring native and non-native SAV habitats in marine, coastal, or estuarine systems.

本数据集与同名学术论文同步发表。本研究开展定量元分析（quantitative meta-analysis），以量化外来沉水水生植被（submerged aquatic vegetation, SAV）对海岸、河口及海洋生态系统中本土蟹类、鱼类与虾类的影响。研究发现，自游生物（nekton）丰度、物种丰富度与生物量是评估自游生物生存表现的最常被采用的指标。本研究从35项相关研究中提取数据，共评估了11项与种间促进作用相关的响应指标，并将分析范围限定为：在海洋、海岸或河口生态系统中，对比同生境下本土与外来SAV生境中自游生物至少一项上述指标的相关研究。
