Vegetation data from sheep grazing experiment at alpine site in Hol, Norway

Citation

Austrheim G, Speed J, Mysterud A, Kolstad A (2019). Vegetation data from sheep grazing experiment at alpine site in Hol, Norway. Version 1.7. NTNU University Museum. Sampling event dataset https://doi.org/10.15468/dwxqai accessed via GBIF.org on 2021-01-16.

Description

This is a documentation of vegetation analyses conducted in the municipality of Hol, Norway, in connection to a sheep grazing experiment. Fences were erected around a 2.7 km2 area in 2001 which were again subdivided into nine plots, each with an elevation gradient (1050-1320 m above sea level). Twenty permanent subplots (50 by 50cm) were located inside each of the nine plots. These were again sub-divided into 16 sub-quadrats (12.5 by 12.5cm). Plant species frequencies represent a count of the number of sub-quadrats where that species was found (0-16). Sheep grazed inside the plots during summer months from year 2002. Sheep densities were zero (control), 80 (high) and 25 (low) with tree replicates for each density.

Taxonomic Coverages

All vascular plant were identified to species. Mosses and lichens were recoded as percent cover
