Vegetation species data recorded along 6 altitudinal transects ranging from 750 m a.s.l. to 1500 m a.s.l. in Grødalen (1994 and 2016). The data is used in the article “Vegetation response to climate warming across the forest-tundra ecotone: species-dependent upward movement” by Løkken et al. published in the Journal of Vegetation Science 2020.Sampling Description
Study Extent
Site: Grødalen, central Norway. Bounding coordinates: Lat. 62°30’N-62°36’N, Long. 8°50’E-9°13’E Recording was done in summer season 1994 and 2016Sampling
Along altitudinal transects, vascular plant abundance was recorded in 1x1m quadrats.Quality Control
Field notes were double checked for errorsMethod steps
- The quadrats were divided into 16 squares (0.25 m x 0.25 m)
- presence/absence of all field-layer species was recorded in each square, giving an abundance of each species per quadrat as the frequency of occurrence in squares
- The field notes was punched into a data matrix of species vs quadrats
- Field notes were double checked for errors
