Plant Species Composition via Nested Circles Method — GLBRC Biodiversity Experiment
Data in the KBS LTER core database may not be published without written permission of the lead investigator or project director Full terms of use
Plant species composition in the Michigan Extensive sites of the GLBRC Biofuel Biodiversity Study via the nested circles method of 1, 10, and 100 m2 centered on the sampling station.
This datatable is part of the Michigan GLBRC Extensive Sites dataset.
The Great Lakes Bioenergy Research Center’s (GLBRC) Extensive Sites are farm-scale fields located on working farms. Fields of corn, switchgrass, and restored prairie are represented at each of 10 locations in 13 counties in Michigan.
