Leaf traits, vegetation cover and meteorological observations in experimental plots in a coastal grassland in California (2017-2019)

These data are the corresponding data for the research project "Leaf traits and phylogenetics help explain coastal grassland restoration plant survival and community change experiencing extreme drought" conducted at University of California Santa Cruz by Justin C. Luong, Karen D. Holl, and Michael E. Loik from 2016-2019. The datasets contain research results on the mechanisms underlying grassland restoration success using non-species specific measures in the context of environmental change.
