Rubus caesius morphometric and phenetic traits, Western NY, 2020-2022

This data package contains field and experimental datasets used to assess the invasion dynamics of Rubus caesius (European dewberry) in riparian habitats across western New York. The datasets include: (1) environmental variables such as canopy cover and soil moisture; (2) reproductive trait data including flower and fruit production; (3) vegetative trait measurements such as leaf area, petiole length, and specific leaf area; and (4) results from a greenhouse experiment evaluating asexual reproduction via stem fragments. Together, these datasets support analyses of trait variation among populations and inform population-specific management strategies.

本数据包收录了用于评估纽约西部河岸生境中欧洲露莓（Rubus caesius）入侵动态的野外实测与受控实验数据集。该数据集包含以下四类内容：(1) 环境变量，如冠层覆盖度、土壤含水量；(2) 繁殖性状数据，涵盖开花量与结实量；(3) 营养性状测量指标，包括叶面积、叶柄长度及比叶面积；(4) 一项以茎段为材料评估无性繁殖能力的温室实验结果。上述整套数据集可支撑种群间性状变异的相关分析，并可为种群特异性管理策略的制定提供科学依据。
