Foliage projective cover of 26 vegetation sites of central Lena Delta from 2018

Field investigations were performed in the central Lena Delta. In total, 26 sites were investigated. The sites were chosen to represent a variety of vegetation communities of the investigated region. For every field site a detailed description of the vegetation was made. Foliage projective cover for all major taxa estimated as percent and averaged from five representative 2 x 2 m plots within 30 m² sites (for Larix Cajanderi directly on the 30 x 30 m site). All data was collected by scientists from Alfred Wegener Institute (AWI), Helmholtz Centre for Polar and Marine Research and University of Potsdam, Germany.
