Patterns and determinants of lichen abundance and diversity across a subarctic to arctic latitudinal gradient
Description
Macrolichen abundance at the species level in 42 sites across a subarctic (56°N) to arctic (62°N) latitudinal gradient in Nunavik (Québec, Canada). Data was collected in the dominant vegetation types of six regions sampled along this gradient.
