The Excel file from this entrance comprises data used in Rydgren et al. “Restoration of formerly afforested blanket bog: estimating time for vegetation recovery”. It includes data on species composition from blanket bog restoration in northern Scotland and the results from the GNMDS ordination. The Excel file consists of five sheets: 1. Metadata a. This sheet provides metadata information 2. Species abbrev a. This sheet provides information about the abbreviated names and the full taxa names. 3. Rawdta_spec_x_plot a. This sheet includes the raw data of the taxa × quadrats. The numbers are percentage cover of each species in every quadrat. 4. Spec_x_plot_weighted_r10 a. This sheet includes the data of the weighted abundances for all taxa in every quadrat. 5. gnmds results a. This sheet presents the quadrat scores from the 3-dimensional GNMDS solution.
