Dataset specification
- Title: BioBasis Nuuk - Vegetation - Pinpoint analyses in carbon flux measurement plots
- Description: Pinpoint analyses data are done every 5 years in the carbon flux measurement plots. First time in 2017. For further details, please refer to the newest BioBasis manual available on the website. Vegetation:Vegetation BioBasis Nuuk:The BioBasis programme monitors the dynamics of organisms and biological processes in the terrestrial and limnic ecosystems at Zackenberg and Nuuk. The BioBasis programme plays a central role in the development and implementation of the Circumpolar Biodiversity Monitoring Programme (CBMP) http://www.caff.is/monitoring across the Arctic.
