Percent plant cover, Warming and Removal in Mountains (WaRM) experiment, Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory, 2013-2022

These data were collected from 2013 to 2022 near the Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory in Colorado. They are from a climate change experiment that manipulated temperature using open-top chambers to passively warm the air and plant community composition by removing the dominant species in a factorial design at two elevations. We measured the total percent cover of all the plots during the peak season each year, and in 2022, we also measured the total percent cover and species diversity every week. From 2022, air temperature, soil temperature, and soil moisture are also included.
