Dataset for "Trade-­off ­between ­early­ emergence­ and ­herbivore­ susceptibility­ mediates­ exotic ­success ­in ­an ­experimental­ California­ plant ­community"

This dataset is from a field experiment which was carried out to test whether plant species that emerge earlier are more susceptible to herbivory, described in the paper "Trade-­off ­between ­early­ emergence­ and ­herbivore­ susceptibility­ mediates­ exotic ­success ­in ­an ­experimental­ California­ plant ­community" by Waterton and Cleland (2016) (https://doi.org/10.1002/ece3.2610). It contains data for the emergence and growth of 12 focal species (six each native and exotic) in monoculture and polyculture with early-season and late-season herbivore exclusion.本数据集源自一项野外实验，该实验旨在验证出苗更早的植物物种是否更易遭受植食性（herbivory）侵害。相关研究成果由Waterton与Cleland于2016年发表于论文《出苗提前与植食性易感性之间的权衡调控加州实验植物群落中的外来物种成功定殖》，原文标题为"Trade-off between early emergence and herbivore susceptibility mediates exotic success in an experimental California plant community"，DOI: 10.1002/ece3.2610。数据集包含12种焦点植物物种（本地与外来物种各6种）在单作、混作模式下，以及早季、晚季植食动物排除处理中的出苗与生长数据。
