The experiment was arranged in a fully factorial split-pot design that was blocked by bench position and provenance population of the plant.  Plants were grown in 'split pots', where two adjoining pots were glued together with a small opening for a lateral root to pass through.  A plant with a long lateral root was placed such that one ramet was in one pot, and a connected ramet was in the adjoining pot.  One ramet was randomly assigned as the 'local' ramet and the other was assigned as the 'neighbor' ramet.  Three treatments were applied in a fully factorial manner:  (1) connection of lateral root (connected / not connected), (2) damage to local ramet by a generalist herbivore Trichoplusia ni (damaged / undamaged); (3) damage to the local ramet by a specialist herbivore Pieris rapae (damaged / undamaged).  Measured responses were the amount of foliar damage to plants, the relative growth rate of a newly applied (bioassay) herbivore (T. ni), the belowground and aboveground biomass of each ramet, and the ability of the neighboring ramet to regrow following removal of aboveground biomass.", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "accessURL": "https://doi.org/10.5066/P99MSTOE", "description": "Landing page for access to the data", "format": "XML", "mediaType": "application/http", "title": "Digital Data"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "description": "The metadata original format", "downloadURL": "https://data.usgs.gov/datacatalog/metadata/USGS.6245c04ad34e21f827615a5f.xml", "format": "XML", "mediaType": "text/xml", "title": "Original Metadata"}], "identifier": "http://datainventory.doi.gov/id/dataset/USGS_6245c04ad34e21f827615a5f", "keyword": ["USGS:6245c04ad34e21f827615a5f", "biota", "herbivory"], "modified": "2022-04-25T00:00:00Z", "publisher": {"@type": "org:Organization", "name": "U.S. Geological Survey"}, "spatial": "-106.6992, 37.7186, -102.0410, 48.8647", "theme": ["geospatial"], "title": "Data on how Lepidium draba responds to damage of clones"}
