Detecting ecosystem trends in response to climate and disturbance across continental plot networks: a power analysis. Simulation data and code.

This dataset consists of data and R code associated with : 'Detecting ecosystem trends in response to climate and disturbance across continental plot networks: a power analysis '. The data include plant ecological community indicators calculated for TERN Ausplots surveys and R code to run change simulations that enable calculation of power to detect change and associated effect size, as well as associated correlates of sampling such as baseline replication and variance. <br> Data consists of three tables (.csv) and an R script (plain text .R):<br> CTI_data (abundance-weighted community temperature index; 98th percentile of recorded occurrences with respect to mean annual temperature).<br> C4_data (proportional abundance of C4 photosynthetic pathway).<br> SAD_data (sigma parameter of a species abundance distribution, the standard deviation of a lognormal distribution in units of log-transformed cover-abundance). Simulation_R_code (R code to run simulations and power calculations on the three csv datasets)<br> Data sources: TERN Ausplots data were sourced from TERN (2020); Guerin <em>et al.</em> 2021; Munroe <em>et al.</em> 2021a. Data for CTI were sourced from Gallagher <em>et al.</em> (2019).
