Format

A data frame with the following variables:

  • siteID: id of the site

  • transectID: id of the transect

  • 2016_milkweed_in_plot: 'yes' 'no' presence/absence for if milkweed was present in plot in 2016

  • 2016_csg_native_status: native status of cool season grass present in plots in 2016. This data can inform 'csg' variable in 'cover' dataset. Options are 'introduced' 'native and introduced' and 'native'.
