Low Arctic monitoring of plant community composition and dynamics

Projects:

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.
