The relative percent cover was assessed using modified Braun-Blanquet visual surveys of Baccharis pilularis plants found within drought, ambient and restored and unrestored plots within experimental plots at Younger Lagoon Reserve in 2019, 2020 and 2021.

Average cover %; the average relative cover of Baccharis pilularis from quarter meter squared quadrats; average cover was calculated from 6 quarter meter squared quadrats in a single plotTreatment:drought; indicating whether the plot experienced experimental drought - values are drought or ambient. Ambient indicates unmanipulated environmental conditionsTreatment; indicating whether the plot experienced experimental restoration - values are Restored or Control; Restoration was achieved through planting 12 native species and a singular weeding event after planting
