FieldSurveyData

This file contains data collected from Poa secunda grown at a field site in western Montana during the 2013 growing season. The first four columns refer to the plant's location within the field study area (Cell, Plot, Block, and Site). The fifth and sixth columns identify the grass origin (Accession and Source). For the seventh column, Treatment, grasses were either grown with (Challenged) or without (Unchallenged) Bromus tectorum. Plants were monitored over four consecutive surveys (Survey1-Survey4). The remaining columns represent data recorded for Poa secunda variables at each survey. These variables include Germinants (number of germinants out of four seeds planted), Survival (presence/absence), Herbivory (presence/absence), Cover (average Bromus tectorum canopy cover per plot), and Biomass. Microsoft Office Excel software was used to create the data file.
