Methods: 

Due to the new treatments on the irrigation transect, we need to change the way we handle the plots in our datasets. Recall that there are 60 plots (30 irrigated, 30 control) in 2 replicate transects (plots 1-15 in transect A, 16-31 in transect B). Historically, we have simply listed the plot number and treatment to designate plots, but the treatment reversal will cause a considerable amount of confusion under this system. Therefore, we have decided to divide the plots into 4 new transects (combining previous transect and previous treatment into a single variable).
