Habitat selection/Caracolus caracolla and other snails

Various habitat characteristics are presented, as well as the apparency of common plant taxa at 7 heights (every 0.5 m from ground level to 3 m). The files are divided because variables measured varied by year. This data set consists of 7 files. Data sets from 1991 through 1995 each have slightly different categories for measures of litter depth, canopy openness, or physical features (e.g. slope, aspect, soil type) that are not always included in later data sets. In addition, plant species recorded changed slightly over this time period, but were standardized by 1996. Various habitat characteristics are presented, as well as the apparency of common plant taxa at 7 heights (every 0.5 m from ground level to 3 m).
