Mowed and Unmowed Wyoming Big Sagebrush: Foliar Cover by Species, All Transects and Years
Description
Absolute foliar cover data by species from mowed and unmowed Wyoming big sagebrush habitat in Nevada and eastern California. Each row is a unique transect from an individual year. The first two letters in the Transect_ID column represent a unique mowing project. The number following these letters represents a unique replicate within a single project. The fourth character in the Transect_ID column is either a C, indicating unmowed sagebrush (control), or an M, indicating mowed sagebrush. Data were collected at two transects per treatment replicate, with each transect represented by a 1 or a 2 preceding the underscore. The year of data collection is the last four digits of the Transect_ID. For example, cell 2A represents Austin Mow, replicate 2, unmowed transect 1, from 2012. Each column represents the absolute foliar cover of a particular species, genus, or functional group using NRCS plant codes. An _D following a shrub code indicates that that shrub was dead.
