Plant Species Composition (Nested Circles Method) — GLBRC Biodiversity Experiment

Data in the KBS LTER core database may not be published without written permission of the lead investigator or project director Full terms of use

Plant species composition in the GLBRC Extensive sites. Additive species composition is determined at 1, 10, and 100 m2 nested circles centered on the sampling station.

This datatable is part of the GLBRC Extensive Sites dataset.

This research is part of the broader investigation of the implications of cellulosic biofuel production on biodiversity, including beneficial microbes and insects as well as birds of conservation interest.
