A guild-based framework for restoring plant diversity on reservoir shorelines through active plant introduction

Reservoir shorelines of regulated rivers, created by over 2.8 million dams worldwide, have experienced substantial biodiversity loss, particularly in plant communities. While actively introducing local riparian plants is a common restoration strategy, existing approaches often lack applicability and transferability across river basins. To address this, we propose a guild-based restoration framework that classifies plant species used for restoration into guilds based on shared functional traits and adaptive strategies. This approach allows for evaluating restoration outcomes across guilds along environmental gradients, optimizing restoration design. We tested this framework along the shorelines of the Three Gorges Reservoir (TGR), characterized by steep environmental gradients. Plant guilds were identified based on shared functional traits, focusing on hydrological and geomorphological associations. The effectiveness of guild introductions was assessed across gradients of submergenc..., , , # A guild-based framework for restoring plant diversity on reservoir shorelines through active plant introduction [https://doi.org/10.5061/dryad.stqjq2cd8](https://doi.org/10.5061/dryad.stqjq2cd8) ## Description of the data and file structure ## **Dataset Description** This dataset accompanies the article \"A guild-based framework for restoring plant diversity in reservoir shorelines through active plant introduction\". It includes 22 restoration sites established through active plant introduction, as well as 6 spontaneously colonized sites. This dataset serves as a resource for testing the proposed guild-based framework along the shorelines of the Three Gorges Reservoir (TGR). **Structure and Content** The dataset is organized into eleven primary tables: **DataFile1_LME&Tukey** These data were used to build linear mixed-effects models and perform Tukey's post-hoc tests. The dataset includes four diversity metrics, including the Shannon-Wiener index, functional dispersion (FDis), ...,全球范围内，逾280万座水坝所塑造的调控河流水库岸线，已遭受严重的生物多样性丧失，尤以植物群落为甚。尽管主动引入本地河岸植物是一项常用的修复策略，但现有方法往往难以跨流域推广，适用性与可迁移性均不足。为此，我们提出了基于功能群（guild）的修复框架：该框架将修复所用的植物物种依据共享功能性状与适应策略划分为不同功能群。该方法可沿环境梯度对不同功能群的修复效果进行评估，进而优化修复方案设计。我们以环境梯度差异显著的三峡水库（Three Gorges Reservoir, TGR）岸线为研究区域，对该框架进行了验证。研究基于共享功能性状划分植物功能群，重点关注其与水文、地貌过程的关联，并在淹没梯度等环境梯度下评估了功能群引入的修复效果…… # 《基于功能群的主动植物引入法修复水库岸线植物多样性框架》 https://doi.org/10.5061/dryad.stqjq2cd8 ## 数据与文件结构说明 ### 数据集说明 本数据集配套于论文《基于功能群（guild）的主动植物引入法修复水库岸线植物多样性框架》，包含22处通过主动植物引入构建的修复样地，以及6处自然定植样地，可用于在三峡水库（TGR）岸线验证所提出的功能群导向修复框架。 ### 数据结构与内容 本数据集共包含11张核心数据表： #### DataFile1_LME&Tukey 该数据表用于构建线性混合效应模型并开展Tukey事后检验，包含香农-威纳指数（Shannon-Wiener index）、功能离散度（functional dispersion, FDis）等4项多样性指标……
