Stand data

This file contains the mean species richness, litter depth, Pinus contorta growth rate, and basal area of each stand sampled in the study. The values are the means of 10 2x2 m plots that were randomly located in each stand. At each site there was a Pinus contorta stand and a stand of non-Pinus contorta vegetation. We use the term "stand" for simplicity but the other vegetation types could include other forest types, plantations, shrublands or grasslands. The vegetation type of each stand is noted. The location of each site is also noted.
