Effect sizes of moose exclusion experiments for conducting meta-analyses

This dataet describes effect sizes of moose exclusion experiments for conducting meta-analyses, for the boreal zone. Effect sizes of moose exclusion were calculated from fenced plots vs open (control) plots, both for density and height, respectively. Web of Science, Google Scholar, ScienceDirect and Scopus were used as databases for searching potential articles, and the time of searching was between November 2020 and June 2021. The following keywords and different combinations of them were used:’ moose’, ‘herbivore’, ‘damage’, ‘shoot’, ‘boreal or hemiboreal’, ‘density’, ‘height’, ‘fenc*’, ‘excl*’, ‘browsing’, ‘conifer or deciduous or broadleaf’ and ‘pine or spruce or birch’. Data from the individual publications were read using WebPlotDigitizer. Only publications that reported averages and standard deviations or standard errors for both exclosure and control plots, were considered.本数据集面向北方针叶林带（boreal zone）的元分析研究，收录了驼鹿围栏排除实验的效应量。 驼鹿围栏排除实验的效应量分别基于围栏样地与开放（对照）样地的密度和高度数据计算得到。 本研究以Web of Science、谷歌学术（Google Scholar）、ScienceDirect及Scopus为文献检索数据库，检索时间范围为2020年11月至2021年6月。 本研究使用以下关键词及其不同组合进行文献检索：“驼鹿（moose）”“植食动物（herbivore）”“危害（damage）”“嫩枝（shoot）”“北方针叶林或半北方针叶林（boreal or hemiboreal）”“密度（density）”“高度（height）”“fenc*”“excl*”“取食（browsing）”“针叶树或落叶阔叶树或阔叶树（conifer or deciduous or broadleaf）”以及“松树或云杉或桦树（pine or spruce or birch）”。 研究使用WebPlotDigitizer工具提取单篇文献中的数据。 仅纳入同时报告了围栏排除样地与对照样地的平均值、标准差或标准误的文献。
