Plot data from the paper "The type of nutrient limitation affects the plant species richness–productivity relationship: evidence from dry grasslands across Eurasia" (Palpurina et al.)

Primary data from 694 plots of 10 m x 10 m sampled in natural and semi-natural dry grasslands in eight regions in eight regions across northern Eurasia in summers of 2005 to 2015. The dataset contains plot-based species richness of vascular plants and environmental data from the same plots including measurements of primary above-ground productivity and nutrient contents in the above-ground biomass. <br><br>Sampling methods are described in the paper Palpurina et al., The type of nutrient limitation affects the plant species richness–productivity relationship: evidence from dry grasslands across Eurasia. <br><br>The dataset is provided in three files, one in the XLSX format for Excel 2013, and one as tab-delimited table in the TXT format, together with metadata.<br> <br><br>NA means absence of measurement in the plot.
