R scripts and data supporting Implications of scale dependence for cross-study syntheses of biodiversity differences

1) R scripts to simulate and meta-analyse the biodiversity of old-growth and secondary forest communities (Script_simulations.Rmd)
2) R script to meta-analyse empirical data (Duguid_Meta_Script.Rmd)
3) Empirical data from studies meta-analysed in the publication: Duguid, M.C & Ashton, M.S. (2013) A meta-analysis of the effect of forest management for timber on understory plant species diversity in temperate forests. Forest Ecology and Management, 303, 81-90. (Data.Duguid_Ashton_2013.csv)
4) Script for R function to assess co-dependencies in study-level effect sizes, replication, scale and variance. Applied to the Duguid & Ashton meta-data.
