Wild ungulates compound herbicide-mediated simplification of early-successional plant communities in forest plantations - Dataset

This dataset consists of vascular plant species cover estimates collected from 12, 1x1-m quadrats, nested within 15x15-m plots that excluded and were open to wild ungulate access. The wild ungulate exclusion experiment was conducted in young forest plantations (<6 years old), each randomly assigned to one of 3 silvicultural herbicide treatments or an untreated control, collected from 2011-2016 in the Oregon Coast Range, USA. Data were used in the analyses presented in Stokely et al. (2021). Stokely, T. D., U. Kormann, M. G. Betts. 2021.
