This data set is obtained from experimental exclosure plots in a savanna ecosystem in the Northern parts of Kenya, Laikipia. It details vegetation composition changes over time following herbivory on fire treated plots, and their respective controls. The aim of the data set was to investigate how herbivory, and by different herbivore groups influence vegetation composition response to fire.
