Hakalau Forest NWR outplant survival

This data release includes data and metadata on the survival of native plants that were planted in experimental plots where large quantities of woody litter were added in an attempt to lower soil nitrogen and exotic grass biomass. All sites were within Hakalau Forest National Wildlife Refuge on Hawaii Island. Broadly, this study looked at the ability to alter soil nitrogen cycling, exotic grass biomass and native outplant survival with large quantities of Metrosideros polymorpha litter in a forest dominated by Acacia koa.
