This project contains data collected in conjunction with the project Monitoring of Melitaea cinxia on Rauer, Norway. The project was established in 2022 and aims to study the effects of different management practices on vegetation, and as such habitat suitability for M. cinxia. In short, 10 permanent vegetation plots (1 m2) were established at two 40 x 40m sites on the island of Rauer, which is a known locality for M. cinxia. Additional plots were established around any winternests of M. cinxia found within each of the 40 x 40 m sites. At each plot, the cover of all vascular plants and vegetation parameters (e.g., vegetation cover, vegetation height) was recorded. In 2022, the dataset contained 32 plots. In 2023, all 20 permanent plots were revisited. Six of these had received treatment in the form of mowing or shrub removal. In addition, 15 temporary plots were analysed. in 2023, the dataset contained 35 plots. In 2024, all permanent plots were revisited and a simplified vegetation analysis performed.
Sampling Description
Study Extent
Two known localities of Melitaea cinxia in NorwaySampling
In 2022 10 permanent vegetatio nmonitoring plots were established at two 40 x 40 m sites. These plots were selected randomly from 25 possible points on a 10 x 10 m grid. Additional plots were established around the winter nests of M. cinxia, to a maximum of 10 per sites. In total 32 plots were included in the dataset. At each plot, cover of all vascular plants was recorded. In addition, vegetation height, and the cover of vegetation was recorded (bryophytes and lichens, vascular vegetation lower than 5cm, lower than 80cm, between 80 and 200 cm, and over 200 cm). In addition, the number of winter nests of M. cinxia and the number of rosettes of Plantago lanceolata were recorded. In 2023, all 20 permanent plots were revisited. Six of these had received treatment in the form of mowing or shrub removal. In addition, 15 temporary plots were analysed, 13 of which had winternests. in 2023, the dataset contained 35 plots. The same ecological variales were measured as in 2023, except for vegetation 80 - 200 cm which was not recorded. In 2024, all permanent plots were revisited and simplified vegetation recordings were performed. As such, only forbs and nectar plants for M. cinxia were recorded.Method steps
