Data for: Positive feedbacks with belowground Ectomycorrhizal fungi drive aboveground traits in rare plant species

Dataset was initially utilized in Wooliver et al. 2018 (https://doi.org/10.1111/1365-2745.12983); data from this paper were recategorized through the addition of rarity levels and reanalyzed to address untested hypotheses and provide new results unrelated to Wooliver et al. 2018. The csv file titled "raw_data" provides information about the biomass, percent ectomycorrhizal (ECM), and percent pathogen colonization among 14 species of Tasmanian Eucalyptus varying in rarity levels. Within the data, a rarity level 8 is representative of common species. The other four data files represent the calculated effect sizes of biomass and ECM colonziation in phylogenetically similar and distant mixtures compared to conspecific soil conditions. "biomass_es_con_to_sim" represents the effect sizes of biomass in phylogenetically similar soil conditions compared to conspecific soil conditions. "biomass_es_con_to_opp" represents the effect sizes of biomass in phylogenetically distant soil conditions compared to conspecific soil conditions. Similarly, "ecm_es_con_to_sim" represents the effect sizes of ECM colonization in phylogenetically similar soil conditions compared to conspecific soil conditions, and "ecm_es_con_to_opp" represents the effect sizes of ECM colonization in phylogenetically distant soil conditions compared to conspecific soil conditions. These datasets are used to test the hypotheses: 1) Total plant biomass, ECM colonization, and pathogen colonization vary based on the rarity of plant host; 2) Plant species inoculated by conditioned soil varying in phylogenetic relatedness (conspecific, similar, distant) demonstrate differences in total plant biomass, ECM colonization, and pathogen colonization. To understand potential mechanistic drivers of hypotheses 1 and 2, we also hypothesized that: 3) The difference between the total plant biomass of species in conspecific soil versus same lineage or opposite lineage soil is related to differing rates of ECM and pathogen colonization.
