| 1 | Plot | Plot in which percent cover of species was measured | ||
| 2 | Treatment vegetation type | Identifies the land-use type | C=corn, P=prairie, H= hay, B=bareground | |
| 3 | Treatment | Identifies whether the plot has been treated with antibiotics and fertilizer or not | T=treated, C=control | |
| 4 | Point | Four location points were designated within each plot | ||
| 5 | Date | Date that percent cover was measured (YYYYMMDD) | ||
| 6 | Initials | individual who assessed the percent cover | ||
| 7 | Taxon # | From a computer program used in percent cover assessments in other Cedar Creek experiments, correlates to a particular species | ||
| 8 | Species | Plant species | ||
| 9 | PercentCover | the relative percentage of the 1x1.5m sample area that a particular species occupied | dimensionless | |
