Mean (a) height (m; ±1 standard error) and (b) cover (%; ±1 standard error) of pines, grasses, forbs, and woody debris in treatment plots at the Lenoir 1 Sustainability Study Site, in Lenoir Co, NC. Mean percent cover and mean height represent the mean value of four replicate plots based on measurements taken in October 2010. Treatments: PB+ = Pine Biomass+; PB− = Pine Biomass−; P × SB+ = Pine × Switchgrass Biomass+; P × SB− = Pine × Switchgrass Biomass−; S = Switchgrass.
