The first four rows are metadata: Plot (plot ID), Patch (patch community: G\u2009=\u2009grassland; S\u2009=\u2009shrubland; F\u2009=\u2009forest), Transect (1\u20133), and Position (slope position: 1\u2009=\u2009top, \u2026, 6\u2009=\u2009bottom). The remaining 159 rows correspond to the measured environmental variables.
