Plant Diversity Effects on Tri-Trophic Ecological Interactions

Data from a study by Nian-Feng Wan on how plant diversity influences interactions across three trophic levels. The dataset was published on the figshare platform in April 2026. It is a 5.3 MB archive file available under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Use Cases

• Model the strength of tri-trophic interactions using plant species richness and abundance data.
• Analyze correlations between plant diversity metrics and predator or herbivore population counts.
• Train classifiers to predict interaction outcomes based on measured environmental or plot characteristics.

Strengths

• Dataset is openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0, permitting reuse and modification.
• Published in 2026, indicating recent research and data collection.

Limitations

• The dataset is small at 5.3 MB, limiting the scope for large-scale machine learning.
• Specific row count, column names, and sample data are unavailable, hindering immediate assessment of structure and volume.
