Grassland Drought Resistance Data from the International Drought Experiment

International Drought Experiment data was filtered and analyzed for a study on long-term aridity's effect on grassland drought resistance. The processed data and code reproduce all analyses and figures for an article under review in Journal of Ecology. The author is Diana Bertuol-Garcia, and the repository was last updated on May 23, 2026.

Use Cases

• Modeling grassland drought resistance based on long-term aridity gradients.
• Analyzing the role of plant species diversity in modulating ecosystem stability.
• Investigating the influence of plant functional composition on drought response.
• Reproducing ecological analyses using the provided R or Python code.

Strengths

• Data and code are provided to fully reproduce the manuscript's analyses and figures.
• The underlying data originates from the standardized International Drought Experiment (IDE) network.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Reconstruction from raw data requires access to the original IDE data, which has sharing restrictions.
