Availability: Restricted
The data are withheld from general circulation and disclosure but access may be obtained on a case-by-case basis through negotiation

Description
The database contents 2 linked (by site or vegetation structure) parts, this part contains: The results of field experiments. more

The database contents 2 linked (by site or vegetation structure) parts, this part contains: The results of field experiments ( extended split plot design); studying effects of grazing or not grazing(1), grazing management strategy (2), vegetation structure and (5) and time on initial woodland development stages. Mortality, growth and grazing damage on Quercus robur and Fraxinus excelsior sapling was recorded in 112 experimental plots at 4 different sites. Part 1 is extended via low intensity recording (2-3 years; only repeated measures)
