Dataset from the study: Litter decomposition rates of biocrust-forming lichens are similar to that of vascular plants and are affected by warming in semiarid grasslands. Data include two csv files with data from remaining biomass and C and N composition of lichens in a 2 year decomposition experiment manipulating climatic conditions and UV incidence in a semiarid steppe in Spain.
