We are particularly interested in datasets from Africa, South America, Asia or Australia.
All datasets must adhere to the following criteria:

1. Be in an herbaceous ecosystem (grassland, salt marsh, forest understory, etc.)
2. Manipulate a resource: light, CO2, water, nutrients
3. Collect some measure of abundance for all species in the community
4. Have at least 3 years of data
5. Have at least 4 replicates of each treatment

Experiments can have other manipulations (e.g. temperature or grazing), just as long as one of the four resources were altered.

If you have a dataset that meets these criteria and you are interested in contributing, please contact us!

​Co-Authorship Criteria
All data contributors will be co-authors on the first synthesis paper that Kimberly La Pierre is currently working on.
For additional  papers:

• All data contributors will first be asked if they approve of their data being used in the new analyses.
• For co-authorship, data providers must contribute in at least two of the following four ways:

1. Idea/question generation
2. Data contribution
3. Data analysis
4. Writing
