NPP Study: Reference harvest data

This is the reference harvest biomass data of plants near,
but outside the grid of permanent NPP quadrats that was
harvested for each of 15 sites. Height and cover are
recorded in the field. Live biomass is weighed in the lab
and all measurements are recorded as reference harvest data.
The NPP sites are grids of permanent 1 square meter quadrats
established in 15 sites: three sites in each of 5 community
zones (grama grassland, creosotebush scrub, tarbush flats,
mesquite dunes and playa). Grids consist of 49 quadrats
arranged in a square 7 x 7 pattern, with quadrats 10 m apart
(P-COLL has 48 quadrats in a 3 x 16 pattern).
