Landuse change and species invasion

Description: Small vegetation plots of understory and herbaceous native and exotic plant coverProject: This dataset was collected as part of the following SAFE research project: Land use change and species invasion: synergistic effects of multiple drivers of global change on species interactionsXML metadata: GEMINI compliant metadata for this dataset is available hereFiles: This consists of 1 file: template_Doebert.xlsxtemplate_Doebert.xlsxThis file contains dataset metadata and 4 data tables:Plot descriptors (described in worksheet DoebertTF_SAFE_PlotData)Description: The full database of characteristics for each of 180 vegetation plots including logging metrics, environmental variables as well as taxonomic, functional and phylogenetic diversity indices.Number of fields: 44Number of data rows: 1485Fields: plot.code: Site code for the plot: the first letter indicates the block, the first number indicates the fragment, the letter f means fragment, the letter m means matrix, the second number indicates the distance from the edge, and the final letter indicates the type of plot (e.g. r = removal, m = monitor etc).
