Dataset of forb composition in a Pacific Northwest Bunchgrass Prairie

This dataset supports the research article "Forb composition gradients and intra-annual variation in a threatened Pacific Northwest Bunchgrass Prairie; Averett and Endress. In Print. Ecology and Evolution". This data includes: (1) perennial forb species composition data from Pacific Northwest Bunchgrass Pairie habitat in the Starkey Experimental Forest and Range, northeastern Oregon; (2) environmental, abiotic, and species trait variables measured from each sampling site; (3) plant species list; (4) densities of culturally important forb species; and (5) long-term sample dates for vegetation plots from the Starkey Experimental Forest and surrounding National Forest lands. Forb composition data was collected from 29 plots in the Starkey Experimental Forest and Range, northeastern Oregon, at three different times during 2016 (April; May; July).
