Methods for Experiment 112 -

Treatments

1. Control, no seedlings added. 2. Addition of seedlings of species with three seedlings per species added per plot. There will be six replicates per treatment, with a total of 12 plots. All seedlings will be watered after planting and watered for the next four weeks as needed during seedling establishment. Seedling survival will be recorded throughout the growing season as will total species richness within each plot. In addition, we will record the percent covers of all species within portions of each plot. Plant seedlings in rows that are 28cm from the edge, with plants 28cm apart in a row, and rows 28cm apart. Plant seedlings in the same order in all plots, going from species #1 to #54 and repeating 3 times in a given plot.
