Alien vs. Native Plant Competition Data with Phylogenetic Analysis

412.9 KB of data, code, and report supporting a research paper on plant competition. The dataset includes CSV files, RMD analysis code, and TREEFILE phylogenetic data. It was authored by Guo and published on figshare under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Use Cases

• Analyzing competitive outcomes between alien and native plant species based on the experimental data.
• Testing hypotheses about phylogenetic relatedness conferring advantage under biotic stress.
• Reproducing or extending the statistical analyses described in the paper using the provided RMD code.
• Incorporating phylogenetic tree data (TREEFILE) into broader ecological models.

Strengths

• Includes the full data, code, and report for a published research paper, facilitating reproducibility.
• Available under a CC-BY-4.0 license, allowing for reuse and modification.
• Contains multiple file types (CSV, RMD, TREEFILE) supporting different analysis stages.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
