Data: Intensive farming drives long-term shifts in avian community composition

Two community datasets from Hendershot et al. 2020 Nature.DOI: https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-020-2090-61. ChaoRich_MeanAnnualCounts.csvThis file contains Chao estimated species richness at each transect in each year.Variable DescriptionTransect: Sampling location. N = 44. Four transects were dropped from analyses due to extensive changes to land management, and are not included here..Year: Sampling yearChao: Chao estimated species richness derived from 6 within-year transect counts.Mean_Annual_Counts: Average of dry and wet season counts.Region: Study Region.Land_Use: Land cover classification2. BrayCurtis.csvThis file contains temporal Bray-Curtis Similarities in community composition within each transect from 2000-2017.The first year of the study (2000) is used as the baseline.Bray Curtis similarity was calculated between 2000 and each subsequent year to measure directional change in community composition.Variable DescriptionTransect: Sampling location. N = 44. Four transects were dropped from analyses due to extensive changes to land management, and are not included here..Year_Pair: Sampling year comparisonsBC_Similarity: Bray-Curtis similarity in community composition between sampling years.Region: Study Region.Land_Use: Land cover classification
