| Summary: | These data are the vegetation datasets for 27 LTER sites in Bonanza Creek Experimental Forest. The 27 sites are divided into three replicates for six primary successional stages on the floodplains (3 replicates X 6 successional stages = 18 sites) and three replicates for three secondary successional stages in the uplands (3 replicates X 3 successional stages = 9 sites). Data include: 1) Visual estimates of percent cover, 2) Stem counts (the number of individuals/species), and 3) Heights (cm) for "tall shrub species" in twenty 4 m2 plots. Shrubs are considered "Tall shrubs" if they are Salix sp., Alnus sp., Rosa acicularis, Viburnum edule, Betula nana, Betula glandulosa, or Rubus idaeus. Initial colonziations plots (FP0s, SL1s, HR1A) were remeasured every year. Early successional plots were remeasured every 2-4 years. Later succesional plots were remeasured approximately every five years. For a detail schedule of plot measurements please see the file: Vegetation Monitoring Schedule.xls Although most sites ... |
