This priority experiment between native California grasses and forbs is reported on in the <i>Ecological Applications</i> paper, "Persistent asymmetrical priority effects in a California grassland restoration experiment" <b><br></b><b>Treatment_Through_Time.xls</b>[Note that this dataset overlaps with Survey2015.xls, but includes only one starting planting year (2008) and monitoring surveys in 2009, 2010, 2011, and 2015.]<br><br>Treatment is forb only (F), grass only (G), grasses and forbs planted simultaneously (B), forbs then grasses added one year later (FG), grass then forbs added one year later (GF), and an unseeded control (C). <br>Year is the number of years after the initial seeding when the survey took place.
