Achieving Bio-Protection in New Zealand Ecosystems mesocosm data

Key to headings in data spreadsheet: Mesocosm: Unique mesocosm number Soil.treatment: Home/Away/Sterile Invasion.treatment: Invaded with Cytisus scoparius or uninvaded Herbivore.treatment: Herbivores added (HERB) or not (NO_HERB) Plant.community: Each mesocosm was in one of 20 unique plant communities Soil.community: Denotes the 'away' soil community the mesocosm was grown in prop.exotic: Proportion of exotic plants (0, 25, 50, 75 or 100%) planted in the community prop.woody: Proportion of woody plants (0, 25, 38 or 63%) planted in the community Above, below, total biomass: Total shoot, root or root and shoot biomass produced in the community prop.Nfix: Proportion of N-fixing plant species planted in the community Herbivore.biomass: Total herbivore biomass (mg) produced in the mesocosm percentLoss: percent of standard substrate lost over the course of the experiment NLFAamf: AMF biomass as measured by 16.1ω5 NLFA biomarkers Bacterial.biomass: Bacterial biomass as measured by PLFA biomarkers X18.2w6c: Non-AM fungal biomass as measured by 18:2ω6 PLFA biomarkers GramNegative: Biomass of gram-negative bacteria, grouped using iso and anteiso saturated branched PLFAs GramPositive: Biomass of gram-negative bacteria, grouped using monounsaturated and cyclopropyl 17:0 and 19:0 PLFAs tC: total carbon; AN_kg.ha: available nitrogen; OM: organic matter; CN: carbon:nitrogen CWSLA and CWSRL: Community-weighted specific leaf area and specific root length R10: total respiration Basal.Respiration: basal respiration SIR: Microbial biomass
