multifunctionality {A3}

Ecosystem Multifunctionality

Description

This dataset relates multifunctionality to a number of different biotic and abiotic features in a global survey of drylands. The dataset was obtained from (http://www.sciencemag.org/content/335/6065/214/suppl/DC1). The dataset contains the features listed below.
