Download: Species Response to Treatments, Data Summary, Oct 15 2008.  Summaries of the change in percentage cover of each species at each site as of 2008. (Excel file)

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

• Percent Cover Data, 2005-2010.  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.
