Abstract:
 
Vegetation data from the Kenya Long-term Exclosure Experiment 1995-present. There are 18 4 ha plots; three replicate blocks of each of six large herbivore treatments. Within in each plot, there is a 100m x 100m grid, with a sample point every 10m, for a total of 100 sample points per plot. Every six month, each lots is surveyed, recording the presence/absence and aerial cover (pin frame hits) of each plant species.
