BioSCape Raw Training Dataset

These data are collected for the NASA-funded BioSCape Project: “Impacts of Invasive Alien Species on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Functioning”. The dataset was curated for the causal inference analysis, and includes training data points of invasive alien trees and other classes for the three study sites in Cape Floristic Region (Figure 1). The dataset was prepared according to the following pre-agreed criteria:Collect as many points as possibleThe classes do not need an even number of pointsPoints should be paired if possible (i.e. an invasive alien tree point should have a corresponding non-invaded, or fynbos point), but we should not exclude points that are un-paired (Field: “Paired_Yes_or_No”)To avoid bias, the points should cover as many different sampling units as possible

本数据集系为美国国家航空航天局（NASA）资助的BioSCape项目“入侵性外来物种对生物多样性和生态系统功能的影响”所收集。该数据集专为因果推断分析而整理，包含了对开普植物区（图1）三个研究地点的入侵性外来树种及其他类别的训练数据点。数据集的整理遵循以下预先商定的标准：尽可能收集尽可能多的数据点，类别中的数据点数量无需均匀分布，尽可能进行配对（即入侵性外来树种数据点应与相应的非入侵或灌木丛数据点相对应），但不排除未配对的数据点（字段：“Paired_Yes_or_No”），以避免偏差，数据点应覆盖尽可能多的不同采样单元。
