BGPVC [1]

Description: 

Vegetation species composition for below ground plots. 64 plots were designed in different combination with burned, mowed, and fertilized treatment. Seven cover classes were used to estimate species canopy coverage. 1 - 0-1% cover; 2 - 2-5% cover; 3 -5-25% cover; 4 - 25-50% cover; 5 - 50-75%; 6 - 75-95% cover; 7 - 95-100% cover. Data were collected from July 19 to July 24, 1989, on August 30, 1994, and on August 23 and 24,1999.
