Description

The zip file contains all the materials needed to reproduce the analyses in Roth T, Kohli L, Bühler C, Rihm B, Meuli RG, Meier R, Amrhein V. (accepted for publication). Species turnover reveals hidden effects of decreasing nitrogen deposition in mountain hay meadows. PeerJ 7:e6347 DOI 10.7717/peerj.6347.

We inferred different drivers of community change (i.e. Nitrogen deposition, climate warming, land-use change) in Swiss mountain hay meadows. The data were obtained from the Swiss biodiversity monitoring (BDM).

The zip file contains the data and R-code for the analyses. The Manuscript.Rmd file is an Rmarkdown file that can be used to fully reproduce the manuscript. When rendered it is transformed into the formatted Manuscript.pdf.

Likewise The Appendix_A.Rmd is an Rmarkdown file that can be used to fully reproduce the comparison of colonizing or disappearing species with random communities. When rendered it is doing the simulations, stores the result of the simulation in the folder Communitysim and produces the formatted Appendx.pdf.

The zip file contains also the folder Geodata that contain the spatial data to produce a figure of the locations of the surveyed plots, R that contain additional R-scripts (see next section for more details), the folder RData with the data stored as .RData files (see below for more details) and Settings that contain a list of the R-packages (including the version number) that were used to produce the manuscript.
