  • Type: Nominal
  • Missing values: None specified
Watershed
  • Label:
  • Definition: watershed at which transect was located
  • Type: Nominal
  • Missing values: None specified
Transect
  • Label:
  • Definition: If applicable, transect at which plant was located
  • Type: Nominal
  • Missing values: None specified
Plant_id
  • Label:
  • Definition: plant ID number, consistent across years. Each watershed-plant_id references a unique individual
  • Type: Physical quantity
  • Unit: dimensionless
  • Maximum: Not specified
  • Minimum: Not specified
  • Precision: Not specified
  • Missing values: None specified
X
  • Label:
  • Definition: Position of plant, in cm, along the transect in the x direction (i.e., parallel to the long side of the transect)
  • Type: Physical quantity
  • Unit: centimeter
  • Maximum: Not specified
  • Minimum: Not specified
  • Precision: Not specified
  • Missing values: None specified
Y
  • Label:
  • Definition: Position of plant, in cm, along the transect in the y direction (i.e., perpendicular to the long side of the transect)
  • Type: Physical quantity
  • Unit: centimeter
  • Maximum: Not specified
  • Minimum: Not specified
  • Precision: Not specified
  • Missing values: None specified
Mrk
  • Label:
  • Definition: Information used to relocate the plant in the field
  • Type: Nominal
  • Missing values: None specified
H
  • Label:
  • Definition: Height of the plant in cm (not measured in 2020)
  • Type: Physical quantity
  • Unit: centimeter
  • Maximum: Not specified
  • Minimum: Not specified
  • Precision: Not specified
  • Missing values:
    • NA = Missing or Not Measured
D
  • Label:
  • Definition: Diameter of tallest basal stem at the base, in mm (some times with multiple measures)
  • Type: Nominal
  • Missing values: None specified
F
  • Label:
  • Definition: Number of flowers or fruits (some times with multiple measures)
  • Type: Nominal
  • Missing values: None specified

  • Label:
  • Definition: percent (living) ground cover in a 15 cm radius around the plant
  • Type: Physical quantity
  • Unit: percentage
  • Maximum: Not specified
  • Minimum: Not specified
  • Precision: Not specified
  • Missing values:
    • NA = Missing or Not Measured
Note
  • Label:
  • Definition: a piece of information about the plant that is permanent. Important notes include: ddXX (died in XX, where XX is the 2-digit year); mpdXX (missing in XX, and should be assumed to be dead, where XX is the 2-digit year); and d < 0.5 (diameter is under 0.5 mm, and thus the diameter was not measured)
  • Type: Nominal
  • Missing values: None specified
Comments
  • Label:
  • Definition: a piece of information about the plant that is temporary, and only applies for one year. Important comments include: sen (senesced, indicating measurements are missing, but plant was alive); qsAA-BB: we conducted a search for unmarked individuals, between 400-500 (y direction) and AA-BB (x direction); missed: we found this unmarked plant in the search, but it is more than one year old, and thus is not a new recruit since the last survey; new: we found this unmarked plant in the search, and it is a new recruit since the last survey.
  • Type: Nominal
  • Missing values: None specified
