Methods

BioTIME managers note: for v2, only control plots were retained. The data were gathered by placing a Point Frame over each plot and recording the top and bottom species at each location. The height of the top species was recorded relative to the ground at that location. The grids were spaced 7 cm apart and started at 3.5 cm from the edge of the square 70 cm frame. The top species was recorded at each location and the species at the ground surface was recorded if it was different from the top species. Occasionally it was difficult to distinguish which species was on the ground because there were several intertwined individuals, therefore preference was given to vascular plants, then lichens, and then mosses. Due to the limitations of field identification many species were lumped into larger taxa. Caveats The taxa provide are relatively robust, however even with the species lumping presented there may have been some difficulty with bryophytes and lichens. Prior to 2007 the sampling only involved the top and bottom hits. In 2007 and 2008 all hits were recorded. The height of each hit was estimated for the first sampling (1995-1997). GRASSX, POACEAE, UNIGRAM in BD site were changed to POAARC. GRASSX, POACEAE, UNIGRAM in BW site were changed to HIEPAU. BAREGROX were changed to BAREGRO. All XXXXXX identifiers were deleted.
