Data and code for: Active restoration of a long-lived octocoral drives rapid functional recovery in a temperate reef

The dataset contains the data and code necessary to replicate the results of: Active restoration of a long-lived octocoral drives rapid functional recovery in a temperate reef.Specifically, the dataset contains:The raw data files needed to produce all statistics and figures that appear in the paper"Community.csv" contains the coverage of the macrobenthic sessile species of the studied sites."Height.csv" contains the heights of the Corallium rubrum colonies."Traits.csv" contains the coded values for the twelve traits of the detected species"Library.csv" contains the categories for each species to group them in major taxonomic groupsThe R code scripts used to produce the analyses and the figures"Demographics.R" is used to analyze and plot the Corallium rubrum demographic traits"Taxonomic.R" is used to explore the taxonomic coverage of the communities"FSpaceAndFRichness.R" is used to create the functional space and compute and plot the functional range, functional divergende and functional beta-diversity of the two communities."FIdentity.R" should be used after "FSpaceAndFRichness.R" and is used to analyze and plot the functional identity of the two communities"pairwise.adonis.R" auxiliary script to perform pairwise permanova on the position of the centroid within the functional space throughout time
