E053 is in field C. Species composition was measured on August 28, 1988 in those plots not involved in the competition experiments. This was done by centering a 0.5m x 1m quadrat in each plot and recording the cover of each species using Daubenmire's scale (Mueller-Dombois and Ellenberg 1974). Cover values were converted to equivalent percent and the mean cover of each species in each treatment was determined.

Documentation on where the strips are located for each year can be found in the clipping maps.
