Difference between version 8 and version 1:

Lines 1-2 were replaced by lines 1-23
- *Possible anlyses
- **Homogenization question
+ *Initial goals
+ **explain variation in species loss with nitrogen addition (proportional richness decline)
+ **25% mean loss, 5-60% range in loss
+ **function of climate/environment?
+ ***N mineralization
+ ***pH
+ ***water content
+ ...many others
+ \\=reported mean from each site
+ *final theoretical structural equation model= interactions among:
+ **climate
+ **soils
+ **initial community conditions (ANPP, SR, Comp)
+ **ANPP Increase
+ **Functional Group Turnover
+ **Treatment conditions
+ \\probably best to start with multiple regression tools
+
+
+
+ *Possible analyses using the already-integrated dataset
+ **Homogenization question: Does nitrogen addition result in a more homogenized community?
+ ***Mechanisms: 1) rare species dropping out or 2) rare species becoming more common
Line 4 was replaced by lines 25-27
- **Rank abundance curves
+ **Rank abundance curves comparing different treatments
+ ***one use: define what the rare species are
+
