The effects of varying temperature on the germination of California natives and invasive plant species. Knowledge Network for Biocomplexity. doi:10.5063/F1VD6WXG.MethodThe R package GerminaR functions were used to explore and generate these indices.https://germinar.inkaverse.comFull details of the methods and functions described in supporting publication. GerminaR: An R package for germination analysis with the interactive web application “GerminaQuant for R”SpeciesA six-week controlled temperature trial was used to explore the importance of a warming climate in deserts and drylands on native versus exotic species common within California Drylands. Species included Bromus rubens (exotic), and the natives Salvia columbariae, Layia platyglossa, and Phacelia tanacetifolia. Genotypic variation was controlled using consistently produced commercial seed stocks.IndicesTable included above in data package from GerminaR vignette (https://cloud.r-project.org/web/packages/GerminaR/vignettes/introduction.html).本研究的萌发指数源自原始实验数据。 Mario Zuliani、Laura Brussa、Jessica Cunsolo、Angela Zuliani及Christopher Lortie（2021）。《温度变化对加州本土与入侵植物物种萌发的影响》，发布于生物复杂性知识网络（Knowledge Network for Biocomplexity），DOI：10.5063/F1VD6WXG。 方法 本研究借助R语言包GerminaR的相关函数，完成了指数的探索与生成工作，该工具的官方访问地址为https://germinar.inkaverse.com。方法与函数的完整细节可查阅配套发表文献：《GerminaR：一款搭载交互式网页应用“GerminaQuant for R”的植物萌发分析R语言包》。 供试材料 本研究设置为期六周的控温试验，旨在探究荒漠与旱地气候变暖对加州旱地常见本土与外来植物物种的影响。供试物种包含外来种红雀麦（Bromus rubens），以及本土种Salvia columbariae、Layia platyglossa与Phacelia tanacetifolia。实验采用统一繁育的商业种子批次，以控制基因型变异对实验结果的影响。 指数数据 本数据集附带的指数表格已收录于上文内容，其数据源自GerminaR包的vignette（R包辅助文档），官方访问地址为https://cloud.r-project.org/web/packages/GerminaR/vignettes/introduction.html。
