IBSP barrier island vegetation 1959 to 2020

Data from Charbonneau et al. 2022 "The persistence and conversion of coastal foredune and swale vegetation community distributions 63 years later" in Ecosphere. Please reach out to Bianca Charbonneau with questions. Methods for collection explained in aforementioned publication. Dr. Charbonneau physically mapped all data. FILES: the 8 shaefiles need all 6 files associated with each downloaded to open 1) thicketboundary2020- polyline shapefile - low and high thicket community boundary (referred to as thicket boundary) following Martin (1959). 2) thicket_woody_overlap - overlap in woody habitat between 1959 and 2020 - no conversion - polygon shapefile 3) veg2020_onlysouth_poly - polygon shapefile of vegetation mapped in the south mapped area in june 2020 4) woody2020- polygon shapefile, woody habitat in 2020 5)woody1959- polgyon shapefile, woody habitat in 2020 6) BeachHeather2020 - polygon shapefile, beachheather in monocultuer or mixed assemblage in june 2020 7) woodyIndividuals2020 - woody species east of thicket boundary in secondary dune or foredune as points shapefile 8) martin1959 - digitized martin map from Martin, 1959, polygon shapefile 9) woody distances excel - woody species east of thicket boundary distance to ocean and crest, and elevation
