Russian Arctic Vegetation Archive – a new database of plant community composition and environmental conditions

The goal of the Russian Arctic Vegetation Archive is to unite and
harmonize data of plot-based plant species and their abundance, vegetation
structure and environmental variables from the Russian Arctic (including
historical Soviet data). This database can be used to assess the status of
the Russian Arctic vegetation and as a baseline to assess biodiversity
changes in the future. The archive can be used for scientific studies as
well as to inform nature protection and restoration efforts.
