Datasets for Barnes et al. 'Biodiversity enhances the multi-trophic control of arthropod herbivory'

The files provided contain the data used to generate all results in the paper: Barnes et al. "Biodiversity enhances the multi-trophic control of arthropod herbivory". These files can be used in conjunction with the provided R scripts (DOI 10.6084/m9.figshare.12909962) to reproduce the results.<br>Four data files are provided:"Cedar Creek arthropod data.csv": Arthropod data, aggregated at the functional feeding group-level, from the plots of the Cedar Creek Big Bio experiment."Jena Experiment arthropod data.csv": Arthropod data, aggregated at the functional feeding group-level, from the plots of the Jena Experiment."CC_Metaweb matrix.csv": The meta food web from the Cedar Creek Big Bio experiment (see Table S1 for details)."JE_Metaweb matrix.csv": The meta food web from the Jena Experiment (see Table S1 for details).The data structure for arthropod data files and meta web matrices between the two biodiversity experiments is identical.<br>More information on these datasets can be found in the "Barnes_et_al_metadata.xlsx" file, and in the Methods and Supplementary Information of the paper.
