Low Arctic monitoring of plant community composition and dynamics
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/106.415

Summary
This dataset contains annual assessment of plant community composition and
biomass production near Kangerlussuaq, Greenland. These data derive from an
ongoing experiment that involves use of large-herbivore exclosures and passive
warming chambers to investigate influences of warming and herbivory on plant
community dynamics.
