Summary
This data release includes data and metadata on “(1) outplant survival, (2) post-disturbance percent cover, (3) post-disturbance shrub counts, (4) point-intercept vegetation data, (5) random plot coordinates, (6) soil chemistry and ratios, and (7) soil moisture. All sites were within Keamuku Maneuver Area on Hawaii Island. This study looked at how microtopography and biotic interactions influence post-disturbance recovery and native planting success in native shrub-dominated and non-native, invasive grass-dominated dryland habitats.

Habitat Suitability Indices (HSI) have been employed in restoration to identify optimal sites for planting native species. Often, HSI are based on abiotic variables and do not include biotic interactions, even though similar abiotic conditions can favor both native and non-native species. Biotic interactions such as competition may be especially important in invader-dominated habitats because invasive species often have fast growth rates and can exploit resources quickly. In this study we test the utility of an HSI of microtopography derived from airborne LiDAR to predict post-disturbance recovery and native planting success in native shrub-dominated and non-native, invasive grass-dominated dryland habitats in Hawai‘i.
