"Location: Around ""WGS84: 59.887306, 16.142245"" (see environmental data for plot locations)",
Biome: boreal,
Sampling date: 2016 and 2019,
Sampling design: burn severity gradient on burned clearcuts,
"Sampling method: 50cm x cm quadrat. Occurrence in 16 sub-plots (12.5cm x 12.5cm), i.e. a frequency scale 0-16. Total cover for vascular plants and bryophytes in percent cover of the whole quadrat.",
Nomenclature for vascular plants follows Krok et al. (2013) and for bryophytes Hallingbäck (2016),
