deal with deer fence

[teixeirak]

for at least some measurements, we will need to report values separately inside and outside the fence

[teixeirak]

Deer fence will be included on plot maps.

My initial thought is that species summaries should include abundance and recruitment for the whole plot and inside/outside deer fence. I don't think it makes sense to break out growth and mortality rates, as they are (presumably) much less affected.

@alyssaterrell just tagging you so you see this conversation
This makes sense. This will be easy to incorporate (e.g. for the maps and for analysis of the data) once we get back the 2018 data from Suzanne, as this year we added the code F to all the stems inside the deer exclosure.

@teixeirak one question for you: once we get that data, did you want the dendroband codes to be updated, such that the dendroband survey trees inside the fence also have that code in their master data sheets?

[teixeirak]

No need to include this code with the dendroband data. Evidence so far is that the deer have little influence on the growth of larger trees.

@alyssaterrell,

If possible, it would be good to include abundance of stems 1-10cm inside and outside the deer fence in your table.
