<p dir="ltr"><b><u>Description of the data collection and workflow</u></b></p><p dir="ltr">The data collection includes 2 R scripts and 5 data sources (4 .csv files and 1 RData object) accompanied by a README.txt file. In combination, the R scripts and data objects can be used to replicate the analyses and figures in Hiiesalu et al. "Latitudinal and elevational trends in community niche structure". The R scripts call all data sources (which all need to be present in the working directory) and should be run in series.</p><p dir="ltr">File content and data sources</p><p dir="ltr">Metadata file includes information about sample location, elevation and climatic data needed to calculate latitudinal and elevational trends in AM fungal niche parameters, whereas community data matrix allows for calculation of community-weighted mean of AM fungal niche parameters. Centroids, overlaps and volumes files originate from Davison et al. 2024 EcolLet.</p>
