Restoration of forestry-drained boreal peatland ecosystems can effectively stop and reverse ecosystem degradation

Data from before-after control-impact experiment on restoration of forestry-drained boreal peatland ecosystems in Finland. Data comprise 151 sites, representing six ecosystem types, and include restored, drained control and pristine control sites for each type. Vascular plant and moss sampling has been conducted before restoration and two, five and ten years after restoration. Please see the full description of the data in Elo et al.
