Global responses of plant abundance, diversity, and fitness to increased fire severity or frequency

Database of responses of plant abundance, diversity, and fitness to increased fire frequency or severity, collected from published scientific articles or reports. The database includes 394 studies published worldwide between 1962 and 2023. Information on the following variables are also provided: fire regime component (fire frequency or severity), time since the last fire, fire type (wildfire or prescribed fire), historical fire regime type (surface or crown fire), plant life form (woody plant, herb, or bryophyte), habitat type, and climate. The database underpins the meta-analysis 'Global plant responses to intensified fire regimes', published in Global Ecology and Biogeography., Data was collected from published articles and reports following standard methods for systematic review. For details, please see the article 'Global plant responses to intensified fire regimes', published in Global Ecology and Biogeography., , **Description of the data and the file structure** The R code for carrying out the meta-analysis is provided in file \"global_fire_analysis_240325.R\". The database is provided in the file \"global_fire_DB_240325.csv\". The columns in the file are described below: study_id: study identification, composed of the name of the first author and the year of publication. study_num: study number. ES_num: number of effect size within study. country: country where the study was carried out. latitude/longitude: coordinates indicating where the study was carried out. FR_hist: type of historical fire regime (surface fire, crown fire, or non fire prone). FR_comp: fire regime component (frequency or severity). fire_type: type of fire (wildfire or prescribed fire). habitat: type of habitat (broadleaf forest, conifer forest, mixed forest, grassland, shrubland, or woodland). response: broad response variable measured (abundance, diversity, or fitness). response_detailed: more detailed response v...本数据集收录了来自已发表科学论文与报告的、关于植物多度、多样性及适合度对火频度或火强度增加的响应数据。该数据集涵盖1962年至2023年间全球范围内发表的394项研究。数据集同时提供以下变量的相关信息：火制度（fire regime）组分（火频度或火强度）、末次火后时间、火类型（野火（wildfire）或计划火烧（prescribed fire））、历史火制度类型（地表火（surface fire）或冠层火（crown fire））、植物生活型（木本植物（woody plant）、草本植物（herb）或苔藓植物（bryophyte））、生境类型以及气候条件。 本数据集支撑了发表于《Global Ecology and Biogeography》的荟萃分析《全球植物对强化火制度的响应》。数据依据系统综述标准方法从已发表文献与报告中采集，详细信息请参阅发表于《Global Ecology and Biogeography》的论文《全球植物对强化火制度的响应》。 **数据与文件结构说明** 本研究荟萃分析所用的R代码已保存于文件"global_fire_analysis_240325.R"中。 数据集本体保存于文件"global_fire_DB_240325.csv"，该文件各列说明如下： study_id：研究标识符，由第一作者姓名与发表年份组成。 study_num：研究编号。 ES_num：研究内效应量编号。 country：研究开展所在国家。 latitude/longitude：研究开展地点的经纬度坐标。 FR_hist：历史火制度类型（地表火、冠层火或非火敏感生境）。 FR_comp：火制度组分（频度或强度）。 fire_type：火类型（野火或计划火烧）。 habitat：生境类型（阔叶林、针叶林、混交林、草原、灌丛或林地）。 response：所测量的广义响应变量（多度、多样性或适合度）。 response_detailed：更详细的响应变量……
