Meta-analysis database of plant interaction networks

Data file lists the studies from which the 31 networks were extracted; the authors, journal, and title of each study are provided. Characteristics of each study are listed, including the location (country, latitude/longitude) and the design (e.g., experimental setting, replicate number, duration). Characteristics of each plant community are also described, including the identities of each species and several of their characteristics (e.g., invasive/native, C3/C4), as well as the mean and standard error of the measured plant performance metric. Last, the networks themselves are listed as a matrix of relative interaction indices for each network. The README file describes each column in the data file in more detail.
