Title:

Linking temporal changes in species composition and biomass in a globally distributed grassland experiment: The Nutrient Network

Alternate Identifier:

DOI PLACE HOLDER

Abstract:

Global change drivers, such as anthropogenic nutrient inputs, are increasing globally. Nutrient deposition simultaneously alters plant biodiversity, species composition, and ecosystem processes like aboveground biomass production. These changes are underpinned by species extinction, colonization, and shifting relative abundance. Here, we use the Price equation to quantify and link the contributions of species that are lost, gained, or that persist to change in aboveground biomass in 59 experimental grassland sites. Under ambient (control) conditions, compositional and biomass turnover was high, and losses (i.e., local extinctions) were balanced by gains (i.e. colonization). Under fertilization, the decline in species richness resulted from increased species loss and from decreases in species gained. Biomass increase under fertilization resulted mostly from species that persist, and to a lesser extent from species gained. Drivers of ecological change can interact relatively independently with diversity, composition, and ecosystem processes and functions such as aboveground biomass due to the individual contributions of species lost, gained, or persisting.

Data Entities
Data Table Name:	plot
Description:	Produced in scripts '2_Data_Prep.R'. Includes all plot-level metrics. Includes details about sites, blocks, plots, time, treatments, and plot-level measures of species richness and strip level biomass. These data are needed to run models associated with, and to produce Figure S5. Scripts running models using these data can be found in 'cluster-> univariate, multivariate models'
Data Table Name:	nutnet_cumulative_time
Description:	Produced in script 4_Data_Prep.R. Data used for main analysis and in main statistical models. Pairwise comparisons between every plot at a time point and between year 0. Price equation partition outputs, using per species biomass estimates. Numbers of species gained and lost between each plot at every point in time. Includes details about pairwise comparisons in terms of sites, blocks, plots, time, and provides plot-level measures of species loss (s.loss), species gain (s.gain), biomass loss associated with species loss (SL), biomass loss associated with species gain (SG), and biomass loss associated with persistent species (PS). These data are needed to run models associated with and to produce Figure 2, 3, & 4. Used directly in scripts found in cluster -> univariate, multivariate models.
Data Table Name:	Table_S5
Description:	Table S5
Data Table Name:	Figure_S2_dat
Description:	Produced in script 11_Supplementary_Figures_S1_S2_S9.R. Data for Figure S2.
Data Table Name:	quads
Description:	Produced in script 7_Model_Data_Posteriors. Used for several supplementary figures and tables.
Data Table Name:	Table_S1_expanded
Description:	Produced by script 16_Supplementary_Tables. See Supplementary Information for full Table caption. Site details on study sites. This is an expanded version of Table S1 in the word document of Supplementary Information

Description:	Extracted data from model objects used to produce figures and visualise results. Data extracted and datasets produced in scripts, '5_Model_Data_Extract.R', '6_Model_Data_Extract.R', '7_Model_Data_Posteriors.R'.
Other Name:	price pairs data
Description:	Produced with scripts found in 'cluster-> price pairs' This contains two folders. One for per species biomass as a response (use for main analyses), one for per species cover as a response (used in Figure S4). There is a separate .rds file for every site and every pairwise year comparison (e.g., year 1 compared to year 0). All of these .rds files are combined into one .csv file, 'nutnet_price_all.csv' in script, '4_Data_Prep.R'.
Other Name:	Model_Fits
Description:	Model objects used for analyses. You can run models yourself, but they take a long time to run and may be too computationally intensive for some local machines. Instead, you can load model objects found here and still produce and examine results more closely without running models yourself. Produced with scripts found in, 'cluster', 'univariate models' (main analyses), 'multivariate models'. Contains 3 sub folders. '3' used for main analyses. 'cover' used for Figure S4. 'multi' used for Table S5.

Methods and protocols used in the collection of this data package

Description:

Please see paper for methods relating to this paper. Please see the Nutrient Network website (given in contacts) for detailed experimental design and protocols. Please see paper and open code for detailed data preperation, and analyses methods. ==================== Data Sources ========================= The Nutrient Network (NutNet) ===========================================================

Description:

Herbaceous vascular plant species relative percent cover. Original cover estimates allowed to exceed 100%. Percent cover was standardised to sum to 100%. Herbaceous vascular plant species were identified to species level. Species information not provided in these data, but these identifications went into all richness and composition calculations. ==================== Data Sources ========================= Long-term experimental sites ===========================================================

Instrument(s):

Visual estimates, taxonomic keys

Description:	Aboveground live biomass of vascular plant species. Clip strip of biomass in a rotating subplot. Sorted into live, dead and functional plant groups (forb, legume, graminoid). Biomass then and dried in an oven. Biomass weighed to closest 0.1g and given in g/m2 .
Instrument(s):	Clipping, Oven, Scale

Description:

Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Potassium addition (NPK) treatments applied annually.

Description:	Price equation partition. Please see paper, code and methods for explanation of responses.
Instrument(s):	R Studio

Description:	Per species Biomass Estimates. Clip strip biomass sorted into functional groups, and species cover used to estimate per species aboveground biomass. Used for Price equation partitions.
Instrument(s):	R Studio
