Fruit Production Per Plant in Long-Term Study of Population Dynamics of Clarkia xantiana ssp. xantiana at 35 Populations in the Kern River Valley, California, USA from 2006 to 2017

Abstract

The dataset (Data File Name: “Datafile_Fruit_Number_per_Plant.csv”) describes the fruit production per plant for up to 150 plants for each of the 35 populations followed in a long-term demographic study of Clarkia xantiana xantiana in Ker Co., CA. At each site, in each year, the number of fruits per plant was recorded on up to 150 plants per population. From 2006-2012, fruit number per plant was scored as the sum of undamaged fruits plus the “undamaged fruit equivalents” of damaged fruit. For example, if a plant had 2 damaged fruits, where half of each fruit was missing, the number of undamaged fruit equivalents was scored as 1, and added to the number of undamaged fruits. From 2013-2017, undamaged and damaged fruits were scored separately.
