Dataset on 10 common alien plants in French grasslands

Data to build a multi-species hierarchical model of the distribution of the ten most widespread alien plants in French grasslands, based on a subset of the DIVGRASS dataset of more than 50000 plant community plots. It allows testing how plant traits (height, specific leaf area (SLA) and seed mass) affect alien species occurrence along gradients of human pressure, environmental conditions and native community composition.Dataset from the paper:Carboni, M., Calderon-Sanou, I., Pollock, L., Violle, C., Thuiller, W. 2018. Functional traits modulate alien species response to environmental, biotic and human gradients. Global Ecology and Biogeography
