Description

The goal of the Russian Arctic Vegetation Archive is to unite and harmonize data of plot-based plant species and their abundance, vegetation structure and environmental variables from the Russian Arctic (including historical Soviet data). This database can be used to assess the status of the Russian Arctic vegetation and as a baseline to assess biodiversity changes in the future. The archive can be used for scientific studies as well as to inform nature protection and restoration efforts.

Notes

The full description of the datasets and the data statistics are available on the Russian Arctic Vegetation Archive website (https://avarus.space/). We encourage you to use the website for communication with the datasets authors and AVA-RU team.
