fd_litter: Litter mass data from litter trap collections

In FoRTExperiment/fortedata: Data from the Forest Resilience and Threshold Experiment

Litter mass data from litter trap collections

Description

These data include leaf litter mass sorted by species as well as fine wood debris (fwd column) in grams collected annually every ~November from the litter traps located in each FoRTE subplot. The fraction column informs the user is each row is either leaves which are broken down by species in the species column; misc which are small, unidentifiable leaf fragements or organic material; or fwd, for fine woody debris which are small twigs and sticks. For 2018-2020, there are four litter traps in each subplot. Each littertrap is circular (1.82 m circumference, 0.29 m radius, 0.26 m^2 area).See fd_experimental_design_vignette for more information. Within the dataset, the bagtare_g column is the mass of the measuring bag or tare and bagmass_g is the total mass of bag + sample.
