S_vegetation_vascular_plant_abundance

Abundance of vascular plants measured using point intercept frequency.

The datasets contains point frequency data (which can be converted to biomass estimates) of the following functional groups and species:

Salix polaris
Bistorta vivipara
Dryas octopetala
Grasses
Oxyria digyna
Sedges and rushes
Small forbs

The dataset includes three different types of files and all files (except the readme) are saved as ;-separated txt-files:

One data file per year (_YEAR.txt)
One coordinate file with coordinates of all sites included in the dataset (_coordinates.txt)
One auxiliary file with information about which sites are included in the dataset and when (_aux.txt)

The dataset has a two-year embargo, older versions of the dataset are publicly available for download.
