The role of demographic traits in explaining the ability of alien tree species to invade subtropical forests

Annotated R-NIMBLE script to fit our Bayesian multispecies models to the forest census data from Northern Argentina, and outputs derived from the model. Descriptions of each file:R-NIMBLE-BayesianMultispeciesModel.R: R-NIMBLE code for fitting the Bayesian multispecies model to the tree data from chronosequence permanent plots in Yungas (Argentina).Powelletal-PosteriorEstimatesVitalRates.csv: Posterior estimates of the mean probability of survival, mean recruitment rates, and mean growth rates for 25 species in Northern Argentina. Estimates include mean, standad error, lower 95% credible intervals (‘lowqt_’), and upper 95% credible interval (‘uppqt_)Powelletal-PosteriorCoefficientEstimates.csv: Posterior coefficient estimates obtained from our multispecies model.<br>
