Plant diversity and indicator values within 200m radius of the Landklif plots

Species numbers of vascular plants as assessed in vegetation surveys inside and within 200m radius of the Landklif plots. Vegetation inside the plots was sampled between mid-May and end of July 2019 (seven subplots, 10m2 sampling area per plot). Cover values for each species were estimated following the Braun-Blanquet scale. Species pools within 200m radius around the plot were assessed between mid-May and begin of August 2020 by standardized transect walks (walking time proportional to area percentages of dominant habitat types within 200m radius, 60 minutes total walking time in each circle). The dataset contains average species numbers of the subplots, total species numbers of the plots, and total species numbers within 200m radius of the plots, as well as mean Ellenberg indicator values on plot and 200m scale.

LandKlif is funded by the Bavarian State Ministry of Science and the Arts within the Bavarian Climate Research Network (bayklif).  Within the five year funding period of bayklif, five interdisciplinary senior research associations and five junior research groups are be financed with a total sum of 18 million Euro. LandKliF, as one of the five interdisciplinary senior research associations, addresses the effects of climate change on biodiversity and ecosystem services in semi-natural, agricultural and urban landscapes.
