DATA AVAILABLE ON REQUEST

We make every effort to provide raw data or data summaries to project partners and others interested in restoration.  If you have a data request, please Email Amanda Stanley

, Project Director.  Data files are available in a variety of formats.

 

Here is a list of the data products available from this project.

  • Percent Cover Data, 2005-2008.  Cover of all vascular plant species, as well as litter, moss, lichen, rock, and bare soil, for all sampling quadrats.
  • Soils Data, 2005.  Data from soil samples collected at each site, includes a range of standard analyses (e.g., ammonium, nitrate, organic matter, total carbon, total nitrogen, micronutrients).
  • Soils Data, 2006.  Data from each research plot (20 per site)
  • Site productivity, 2006-2008.  Biomass collected at each site, divided into the following categories: live forbs, live grasses, live shrubs, and litter.
  • Light interception, 2006-2008.  Measurements of PAR (photosynthetically active radiation) above and below plant canopy in each experimental plot.
