Transplanted grasses on Hog Island, VA 2014-2015

This dataset documents our data from a transplant experiment on the south end of Hog Island. 180 individual transplants, 60 of each of three common east coast dune grasses, Ammophila breviligulata, Spartina patens, and Uniola paniculata were planted from the crest of the foredune to the high water mark. Each month during the growing seasons (May-October) of 2014 and 2015, the longest leaf of the plant was recorded as a proxy for plant health, as well as the elevation at each plant site. The data here are those measurements.

本数据集记录了霍格岛（Hog Island）南端开展的沙丘草移植实验的相关实测数据。实验共设置180株移植个体，包含三种东海岸常见沙丘草（Ammophila breviligulata、Spartina patens及Uniola paniculata），每种各60株，种植范围从前丘脊线延伸至高潮位。在2014年与2015年的生长季（5月至10月）期间，每月均记录植株的最长叶长作为植株健康状况的替代表征指标，同时同步记录每个种植位点的海拔高度。本数据集收录的即为上述全部测量数据。
