This is an example dataset for a mathematical paper, using data that was originally collected from an published empirical paper (Tanner and Bellingham 2006).

Tanner, E. V. J., and P. J. Bellingham. 2006. Less diverse forest is more resistant to hurricane disturbance: evidence from montane rain forests in Jamaica. Journal of Ecology 94:1003-1010.

From the text of the current manuscript:

We illustrate how our approach can be used to measure the causes of diversity change in nature using data from a montane tropical forest during recovery from hurricane damage. Example analyses are provided in (appendix S3). Tanner (1977) sampled forests in four sites within 25–175 m of each other that differed in topography and soil nutrient availability on and near the main ridge of the Blue Mountains of Jamaica (18°05′ N, 76°39′ W; 1580–1600 m). The Mor ridge site (hereafter Mor) has low soil nutrient availability, with low alpha diversity and several habitat specialists (Tanner 1977). The thre...
