Occurrence Data of Vascular Plants from Abandoned Agricultural Fields (Moscow and Tula Regions, Russia)

This data set is a part of the database “Vegetation relevés in temperate forest region of European Russia” (DOI: 10.15468/gohlb5) and includes 8077 vascular plant species occurrences, collected at temporal plots which are located in south of the Moscow region and Belev district of the Tula region. Here we provide only occurrence data because now Darwin Core standard doesn’t have the terminology for characteristics of vegetation layers. The full information is available via the European Vegetation Archive (EVA; http://euroveg.org/eva-database; EU-RU-014). Data was sampled in 2012-2016 on former agricultural fields which were abandoned from 1 to 25 years before the sampling. Data processing was supported by a GBIF - FinBIF data mobilization grant for European Russia (Russia-02).
