This is the GitHub repository for the Vestland Climate Grid (VCG) and the associate data paper: Vandvik et al. (in prep). Ten years of plant community response to climate change - data from whole-community turf-transplant experiments across broad-scale temperature and precipitation gradients in Western Norway.
Our study is conducted as a replicated distributed experiment across twelve calcareous grassland sites in southern Norway. Careful site selection ensured that these twelve sites vary systematically in a ‘grid’ of three temperature levels crossed with four precipitation levels. Within each site, we measured a range of site-level biotic and abiotic data, and set up three experiments from which we measured a range of environmental and response variables over 12 years.
Within the VCG, we performed a number of experiments.
- Climate transplant experiments
- Graminoid removal experiment
- Seed rain and seedling recruitment experiments
- Seed bank study
Project meta-information, data documentation, data set overview and metadata for each dataset are in the VCG data paper (in prep). Also see below.
The raw and clean data are stored and available on OSF.
All R code for the analyses from the Norwegian project is on GitHub.
To download the clean data from OSF use the dataDownloader package. This is how to install and load the package.
devtools::install_github("Between-the-Fjords/dataDownloader")
library("dataDownloader")Here is an example for how to download the biomass data:
The node is a specific code for the VCG OSF repository. The file defines which specific file that needs to be downloaded. The path refers to where the data should be downloaded to in your RStudio project. And finally the remote_path refers to the folder on OSF, where the data is stored.
get_file(node = "npfa9",
file = "VCG_clean_functional_group_biomass_2010_2013-2015.csv",
path = "clean_data",
remote_path = "6_Biomass_data")For an overview of all available datasets see Table (@ref(tab:data-sets).
