DATA - Raw data to extract the rate of change in fish richness

This database is a subset of a bigger dataset on fish richness data extracted from published studies used to perform a meta-analysis on the impacts of dams and reservoirs on fish biodiversity and fish assemblages https://doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.7938167.v1. The studies were compiled from journal indexed in Web of Science Core collection, BIOSIS citation index, Current Content Connect, Data citation Index, SciELO Citation index and Zoological records databases from Thomson ISI's Web of Science and Google Scholar (peer-reviewed articles, textbooks and reports). This EXCEL file contains 1 sheet with the metadata and 1 sheet with observed fish richness over time with the associated reference.
