Data_Jena_76_metapopulations

The biomass data for all species sown within each plot are used to form 76 metapopulations. Because the number of species sown per plot ranges from 1 to 16, the number of populations within the 76 plots also ranges from 1 to 16. Each metapopulation dataset therefore includes all population-level records for its constituent species.

datasets

Provides functions to to compute a continuum of information-based measures
for quantifying the temporal stability of populations, communities, and ecosystems,
as well as their associated synchrony, based on species (or species assemblage)
biomass or other key variables. When biodiversity data are available, the package
also enables the assessment of the corresponding diversity–stability relationships.
All measures are applicable in both temporal and spatial contexts. The theoretical
and methodological background is detailed in Chao et al. (2025)
<doi:10.1101/2025.08.20.671203>.
