The data were collected from marked study plots in 1998 and 1999. DATA COLLECTION AND PROCESSING: The species lists and cover values were determined using the Braun-Blaunqet method. Releves were performed by Donald Walker and Amber Moody. Using the Braun-Blaunqet method, a species is assigned a cover value of: r=rare - 1 or 2 occurrences, +=several occurrences but <1% cover,1= 1-5%, 2=6-25%, 3=25-50%, 4 =51-74%, or 5=76-100%. DATA FORMAT: File Name = veg_releve_bar_atq_oum_ivo.xls (Excel format). It is a numeric data file. File size is 8K. This final version of the data file was submitted to JOSS 03/29/2002.
