Environmental and climatic metadata - feather moss nitrogen fixation and cyanobacterial biomass

Metadata used in the article entitled "New insights into the drivers of moss-associated nitrogen fixation and cyanobacterial biomass in the eastern Canadian boreal forest". This metadata comprises environmental parameters (temperature, precipitation, nitrogen deposition, tree density) measured on a latitudinal transect in Quebec, Canada; and nutrients (carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus and metal concentrations), nitrogen fixation and cyanobacterial biomass measured in feather mosses collected on this transect.
