Dataset 1: "Partitioning the biodiversity effects on productivity into density and size components"

DescriptionA dataset of an annual-palnt diversity experiment used in Tatsumi and Loreau (2023). Five species (<i>Arthraxon hispidus</i>, <i>Bidens pilosa</i>, <i>Digitaria ciliaris</i>, <i>Kummerowia stipulacea</i>, and <i>Persicaria longiseta</i>) were sown solely or in mixtures of two, three, or four species in planting pots. A total of 24 seeds (Pot ID #1-45) or 72 seeds (Pot ID #46-90) were sown per pot. The number of emerged seedlings were counted after 2 weeks of sowing. After a growing season, the number of live plants was counted. The plants were then harvested, dried, and weighed. The same dataset is also provided in the '<code>densize</code>' R package available at https://github.com/communityecologist/densize.Data structure<b>InitDens.csv</b>: Initial seed densities (seeds sown per pot) of each species in each pot, organized in a data frame with 90 rows (pots) and 5 columns (species). The other three data (FinalDens, FinalYield, and GermDens) follow the same format, with the pots and species arranged in the same order as in InitDens.<b>FinalDens.csv</b>: Final plant densities (plants survived per pot) of each species in each pot.<b>FinalYield.csv</b>: Final plant biomass (grams per pot) of each species in each pot.<b>GermDens.csv</b>: Seedling densities (seedlings emerged per pot) of each species in each pot.ReferencePlease cite this article when you use the dataset.Tatsumi S. and Loreau M.
