Evaporation suppression by partial floating covers (MAISSER-PE): review data and code, with the search log, screening decisions, extracted S-phi conditions, synthesis and meta-regression

Data and code of a critical review of evaporation suppression by partial covers of water surfaces (floating elements, suspended shade cloth, floating and overhead photovoltaics, sheets, vegetation and wind barriers), from laboratory pans to reservoirs (project MAISSER-PE, Departamento de Energia Nuclear, Universidade Federal de Pernambuco, Recife, Brazil). The review asks why the suppression S rarely matches the covered fraction φ and synthesises the measured and modelled ratio S/φ. Contents: the search protocol and the log of every query (OpenAlex, Crossref, Semantic Scholar, Scopus and web searches); every record with its two-stage screening decision and reason; the list of full texts sought and retrieved; the conditions extracted from the full texts, with the corrections logged by the independent checking pass; the reconciliation of linked reports and the pseudo-replication audit; the synthesis dataset (one report per experiment); the Python code of the search, screening support, extraction support, synthesis, mixed-effects meta-regression and figures; and the figures and tables with their data. Not included, for copyright or licence reasons: the full texts and any verbatim passages taken from them, the abstracts and the raw Scopus records.
