Data from: Intraspecific variation in traits reduces ability of trait-based models to predict community structure.

This dataset includes all raw data needed to recreate the analyses presented in the paper:Read, Q. D., J. A. Henning, and N. J. Sanders. Intraspecific variation in traits reduces ability of trait-based models to predict community structure. Journal of Vegetation Science, accepted. (DOI forthcoming)Included are 4 .csv files, described below. In all cases, missing values are coded as NA, the native R designation for missing values. In addition, the file columnmetadata.txt includes a fuller description of each of the columns in the 4 .csv files, and speciescodes.csv links species codes in the other data files with the accepted scientific name.communitydata.csv - Each row represents a quadrat at a given site, with columns containing percent cover for each species.observationalsitedata.csv - Each row represents a study site, with columns containing abiotic variables measured at each site.rangesizes.csv - Each row represents a species and its range size estimated from GBIF.org occurrence records.traitdata.csv - Each row represents an individual plant from one of the study sites, with associated identifying information and trait measurements.
