Weed co-occurrence patterns in revegetation plantings

We used seedling plots to identify species co-occurring under each of three target woody weeds in revegetation plantings in Auckland, Aotearoa – New Zealand (Solanum mauritianum; Paraserianthes lophantha; Ligustrum lucidum) and compared them to seedlings growing under native plants. The data includes attributes of the plots (e.g., canopy cover, human population density around the site, litter depth) and identified species in the plots counted into height tiers (e.g., < 15 cm tall).
