Open KW529 opened 5 years ago

Imported, but biomass #'s looks extremely small...

Hi Glenda,

Thanks so much again for sending us your data! After reviewing some data from the DNB site, I am curious about the large jump in Graminoid biomass in the control and drought plots for 2019 (see highlighted row in the table below). Are biomass estimates from earlier years (2015-2018) in grams/m2?

Hi Glenda,

I am following up on my question about the biomass data. Do rules for "live" and "dead" categories in the cover data (i.e. we should add species that are live and dead due to the short growing season) also apply to the biomass? That might take care of the issue I mentioned in the previous email as I was excluding biomass of functional groups classified as "dead".

Best,

Kate Wilkins

Hi Glenda,

Just following up on some of the questions from my previous emails. In addition, could you fill out the information for Eriachne aristida, Goodenia_cycloptera, Indogifera colutea, Trachymene glaucifolia, and Cryptogram in the attached taxa table? Thanks!

Best,

Kate Wilkins

OLD biomass deleted because not in grams/m^2 (see full note in Ethabuka DNB cover ticket).

KW529 commented 3 years ago

New biomass submitted is in g/m^2

For now, deleting all biomass and then re-uploading only with live categories.
