Summary data for leaf N studies in meta-analysisThis file contains summary information and calculated effect sizes extracted from studies that measured leaf Nmass and/or Narea along an elevational gradient.

Column titles: elevation, the elevation in m above sea level at the data point; nmass, the Nmass value (percentage N by mass) at the data point; study, a numeric identifier for the study that the data point came from; latitude; the mean latitude for the study; name, a unique identifier (author's name) for the study; lat.lapse, the latitude to the nearest degree of the data point; long.lapse, the longitude to the nearest degree of the data point.nmraws.csvSummary information for studies in common-garden reviewThis file contains all the summary information from studies found in a literature search for common-garden or reciprocal-transplant experiments testing the hypothesis that there is a genetic basis to elevational or latitudinal variation in LMA, Nmass, or Narea within a species of plant. Column titles: STUDY NAME; author's last name and year published (see Appendix S2); Altitude common garden, whether the gradient is elevational; n. altitudes or latitudes, how many sites were sampled; Latitude common garden, whether the gradient is latitudinal; other, details if necessary; Trait(s), which traits were sampled; Genetic basis, whether statistically significant genetic basis was found; Effect size type, what statistical test/model was used; LMA, Nm, and Na, which of the 3 traits were sampled.common_garden_review.csvR functions to reproduce all analyses in paperR file with all functions used in the accompanying R script file (see comments in body of file).meta-analysis_functions.rR scripts to reproduce all analyses in paperR file that when run will reproduce all analyses in the paper, using functions in the accompanying file (see comments in body of file).meta-analysis_scripts.rREADME describing all accompanying files
