Effects of functional traits of alien woody plant invaders and climate on herbaceous vegetation: insights from meta-analysis and structural models

This dataset comprise meta-analysis records for assessment of functional traits of invaders on herbaceous vegetation. It includes study reference, invader species, N fixation status, leaf phenology, invader stature and allometric attributes including invader canopy cover and height. The statistical measures include means, standard deviations and sample sizes of invaded and uninvaded sites. ds means the standardised mean difference, LL and UL means 95% confidence intervals.
