Positive allometric growth explains the positive effect of foliar fungal pathogens on plant coexistence

<p><span>The data was collected in the northeastern Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau, Qinghai Province, China (101° 18′ 57</span>″ <span>E, 37° 36′ 50</span>″ <span>N; 3 221 m a.s.l.) in 2019 and 2020, including t</span>he species-specific growth allometry (scaling exponent and intercept) fitted by the allometric equation under each treatment in a population-level experiment, i.e., control, fungicide application, neighbor removal (removal), fungicide application × neighbor removal, and the community-level mean and dispersion of the growth allometry (CWM and FDis of growth scaling exponent and intercept, respectively) weighted by the species cover for each plot in a community-level fungicide application experiment.</p>
