Note: Response variable category refers to one of the six categories used to describe the type of function that was reported: abundance, morphometric, physiological, reproduction, community, and ecosystem. The response variable column lists the specific metric each publication used. The outcomes are reported solely on the basis of the correlative nature of the relationship.
