There are 7 data files and 1 R Markdown File included in this repository.

Experiments were completed at two sites -
KF - Kendall Frost Marsh Reserve
SDL - San Dieguito Lagoon

All data files note the Date, Month, Year, Site, Site ID, Focal Plant, Rep, Neighbor, and Assemblage -

Date - MM/DD/YEAR
Year - 2016, 2017
Month - January - December
Site - KF, SDL
Site_ID - KF1 (KF in 2016), SDL1 (SDL in 2016), SDL2 (SDL in 2017)
Focal Plant - The plant that was focused on in the plot - cordgrass or pickleweed
Rep - Focal Plant (cordgrass [c] or pickleweed [p]) + plus or minus (- for neighbors removed, + for neighbors present) + the rep number
Neighbor - present or absent
