Succession in abandoned fields: Chronosequence data verified by monitoring of semi-permanent plots - Dataset underlying paper

In task 3.1 of the WILDCARD project (www.wildcard-project.eu), we performed the analyses to identify the similarity between successional patterns in permanent plots and chronosequences on abandoned fields. This data is needed to know the accuracy of a chronosequence approach to reveal general successional vegetation pattens compared to the results obtained from semi-permanent plots. Raw data was provided by external collaborators. Results can be applied to other types of successional studies and restoratin projects, they verified the reliability of chronosequence approach.
