Landslide Removal Experiment (LRE) related data sets

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The LRE experiment is a series of vegetation removals on 10 landslides designed to determine what mechanisms drive landslide succession. Three types of removals were conducted:

  1. removal of Gleicheniaceae ferns (GLE): landslides ES9, ES13, J3, and MY3 (as with my other work, ES stands for slides in the Espiritu Santo drainage, J is for Jimenez, MY is for Mameyes, and RB is for Rio Blanco).
  2. removal of pioneer woody plants (PIO): ES3, MY6, RB10, RB11
  3. removal of Cyathea tree ferns: RB1, RB2

On each landslide there are two removal plots and two control plots as follows (R=removal, blank = control):
PlotNo.   J3 ES9 ES13 MY3 ES3 MY6 RB10 RB11 RB1 RB2
1 r       r r   r r  
2   r r r     r     r
3   r r   r     r    
4 r     r   r r   r r
