Abstract:
This data publication contains plant demographic and leaf quality data for beargrass (Xerophyllum tenax Melanthiaceae) from three different wildfire sites on the Mount Hood National Forest in Oregon. Data include life history information for a set of approximately 1000 plants that were tracked over the course of three years. Each plant was first tagged with a metal tag and then plant growth, survival, flowering, vegetative reproduction and seed capsule production were measured for each plant near the end of each growing season in 2015, 2016 and 2017. Soil moisture was measured twice per season in both 2016 and 2017. Canopy openness was measured once, either in 2016 or 2017 with hemispheric lens at the plant level. A harvest experiment was performed in 2016 on a random subset of 180 plants evenly distributed across sites and plot types. Leaf qualities of three harvested leaves per harvested plant were measured and recorded. Measurements included length, width in three places along the leaf, color, and leaf mass per area (LMA).
