Extreme weather events threaten biodiversity and functions of river ecosystems: dataset for conducting the meta-analysis

This repository contains the code and dataset to replicate the meta-analysis conducted by Sabater et al. entitled "Extreme weather events threaten biodiversity and functions of river ecosystems: evidence from a meta-analysis"

Metadata:

- metaanalysis_GlobalEvidenceRivers_Rscript.R - R Script to conduct the meta-analysis

It includes the mean, SD (or SE), and sample number of the studies included in the meta-analysis, as well as information on the paper authors, year of publication, and type of study (experimental or observational). It also includes co-variates and the author who subtracts the information from the paper.

- functional_resp.csv - table with data to perform the primary productivity, respiration, and decomposition meta-analysis. It includes the mean, SD (or SE), and sample number of the studies included in the meta-analysis, as well as information on the paper authors, year of publication, and type of study (experimental or observational). It also includes co-variates and the author who subtracts the information from the paper.
