Relationship between files: Files refer to different time periods, and contain different species, as noted above. However, they are all part of the same collection. -------------------------- METHODOLOGICAL INFORMATION -------------------------- 1. Description of methods used for collection/generation of data: A record was kept whenever propagation material (mainly scionwood of trees) was sent to another party. 2. People involved with data collection: As stated above, since the data was collected over large periods of time, it is unclear who authored each page/dataset.
