FieldNameDefinitionUnitCode
1YearYear measured
2Sampling IDA number to designate a sampling
3PlotPlot in which light was measured
4Subplotletter indicates which of the four designated points in the plot that each measurement was takenN=North, S=South, E=East, W=West
5Treatment vegetation typeIdentifies the land-use type C=corn, P=prairie, H= hay, B=bareground
6TreatmentIdentifies whether the plot has been treated with antibiotics and fertilizer or notT=treated, C=control
