# Data on plant sizes in forest and non-forest communities
# Kelsey Dillon and Drew Kerkhoff
# Updated March 2018

# Data for this study are drawn from a number of independent studies at three sites
# and collected by a number of different researchers
# Brown Family Environmental Center (BFEC), Gambier, OH. Dillon, Lodge, Hamilton, Henderson, Kerkhoff
# Rocky Mountain Biological Lab (RMBL), Gothic, CO. Henderson, Sloat, Enquist, Kerkhoff.
# Tumamoc Hill Desert Lab (THDL), Tucson, AZ. Price.

# Since the data are heterogeneously collected across the studies, we keep the data in
# separate csv files for each study plot.
# While this is not the most efficient way to code and leads to repetition, we assigned each
# plot size distribution to its own dataframe.
