Description

This dataset contains all the raw data belonging to the research article 'Reindeer trampling promotes vegetation changes in tundra heathlands: results from a simulation experiment', by Egelkraut, Barthelemy and Olofsson, published in Journal of Vegetation Science. 

The experiment experimentally simulated various herbivore activities (Defoliation, Moss removal, Fertilization, Trampling, FDT, FDTM) on lightly grazed tundra heath vegetation, in order to determine in what way each of these activities cntributed to change in vegetation community and structure. We recorded vegetation composition as well as soil temperature and moisture over the course of 6 years.

Notes

Numbers in the species abundance sheet represent hits (touches) per 100 pins in that plots (50x50 cm). 

Soil moisture is in percentage and soil temperature in degrees Celcius.
