Dataset accompanying Andersen et al. 2020 Journal of Vegetation Science

The data presented here is the data used in the paper 'Turnover and change in plant species composition in a shielded salt marsh following variation in precipitation and temperature' by Andersen et al. 2020 Journal of Vegetation Science.

The study was funded by Aage V. Jensens Naturfond (AVJNF) [Project title (in Danish): Udvikling af en forvaltningsstrategi, der tilgodeser hele økosystemet i De Østlige Vejler].

The data is arranged in four spreadsheets:

Plot values:

- Contains information for the 40 sampling plot sampled in each of 2017 and 2018.

- The results represent mean values per sampling plot. 

- Ellenberg values are caluculated based on the species present in the 5 m circle.

- Units provided along with column name.

Presence absence 5m: 

- Species names listed in latin.

- '1' denotes that the species was present in the 5 m circle, '0' denotes its absence.

Pin point frequency:

- Species names in latin.

- The numeric values indicates how many times the given species was registred within the pinpoint frame. 

GPS coordinates:

- Coordinates are in WGS 1984 format.
