Environment regimes play an important role in structuring trait- and taxonomy-based temporal beta diversity of riverine diatoms

<p>This dataset is from the manuscript '<span>Environment regimes play an important role </span><span>in structuring trait-and taxonomy-based temporal beta diversity of riverine </span><span>diatoms</span>' whereby daily riverine diatom data, flow, nutrients and metal ions data were used to examine <span>i) the relative roles of turnover and nestedness components to trait- and taxonomy-based temporal beta diversity of riverine diatoms; ii) whether trait-based temporal beta diversity provides complementary information to taxonomy-based temporal beta diversity; iii) the relative roles of hydrology (e.g., discharge, </span><span>antecedent precipitation index</span><span>), metal ions (e.g., </span><span>Mg2+, Si2+), and nutrients (e.g., nitrogen, orthophosphate) to the both facets of temporal beta diversity and their components (i.e., total beta diversity, turnover, and nestedness); and iv) whether inclusion of environment regimes increase their explained variations. Therefore, t</span>his dataset contains three different data: 1) daily species composition (date*species); 2) species trait (species * traits); 3) environmental variables (date*environmental variables). </p>
