File list

CVSrichness.txt -- Richness data for 1472 plots at 6 scales.

Description

The file is of fixed-width delimitation and contains 11 columns and 1474 rows.  The columns correspond to the variables listed below, and each row (after the first two header rows) corresponds to one vegetation plot.

Column	VariableName	Description
1	PlotID	Unique plot identifier in Carolina Vegetation Survey database
2	State	U.S. state containing plot
3	County	County containing plot
4	0.01 m2 richness	Number of rooted vascular plant species per 0.01 sq. meters, averaged over 8 replicates
5	0.1 m2 richness	Number of rooted vascular plant species per 0.1 sq. meters, averaged over 8 replicates
6	1 m2 richness	Number of rooted vascular plant species per 1.0 sq. meters, averaged over 8 replicates
7	10 m2 richness	Number of rooted vascular plant species per 10.0 sq. meters, averaged over 8 replicates
8	100 m2 richness	Number of rooted vascular plant species per 100 sq. meters, averaged over 4 replicates
9	1000 m2 richness	Number of rooted vascular plant species per 1000 sq. meters, one replicate (full plot)
10	Z value	Calculated species accumulation rate (Z) for 6 richness values per plot, using Arrhenius eq. (log S = Z log A + log c)
11	log C value	Calculated value of log c in Arrhenius eq., as above
