Dataset specification

  • Title: External Projects - Greenland Permanent Vegetation Plots - Vascular plants
  • Description: This dataset provides a list of the plant species present in 90 permanent plots in Tyrolerfjord in the western part of Young Sund. Plots were distributed with 3 x 6 plots for every 100 m altitudinal increase. They were circular, with radius=2 m. Nomenclature follows Böcher et al. (1978): "Grønlands flora”. P. Haase & Søns Forlag. The project was supported by the Danish Cooperation for Environment in the Arctic (DANCEA, project number 112-00247).
