Small Mammal Exclosure Study (SMES) Leaf Litter Study in the Chihuahuan Desert Grassland and Shrubland at the Sevilleta National Wildlife Refuge, New Mexico

This is data for cover of dead plant leaf litter accumulations on soil surfaces measured on each of the SMES study plots. Leaf litter cover was measured from each of the 36 one-meter2 quadrats twice each year when vegetation was measured.

本数据集为SMES研究样地内土壤表面植物枯落物（leaf litter）堆积覆盖度的实测数据。每年在开展植被调查的两个时段，对全部36个1平方米样方分别测定枯落物覆盖度。
