Abstract:
The average cover values of all plant species within experimental treatment plots of restored, unrestored, droughted and ambient rainfall plots from 2021. Data was taken using a modified Braun-Blanquet visual survey in six 0.25 m² quadrats to account for variation within a plot and eventually used to calculate the relative cover within a plot, therefore the total cover of each plot may exceed 100%.

Unique identifer for every plot. The first letter: P represents restored plots and I represents unrestored plots; The second letter: S represents drought, and C represents ambient weather conditions). The number is the replicate number of a given treatment combination.
