Vegetation monitoring by hydropower reservoir in East Iceland

Data used in a research article titled "Decadal vegetation changes in a subarctic, subalpine ecosystem: Can effects of Iceland’s largest hydropower reservoir, climate change, and herbivory be detected?" DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/avsc.12772The data describes estimated cover of each vascular plant species, as well as other vegetation and surface types, in each plot at each of three sites included in vegetation monitoring in the East Icelandic highlands, following the construction of the country's largest hydropower plant. See research article for study design details. Baseline surveys were conducted in 2006-2008, resurveys in 2015-2017. Taxon names are based on the Annotated checklist of vascular plants of Iceland (DOI: 10.33112/1027-832X.57).本数据集来自一篇题为《亚北极亚高山生态系统的十年植被变化：能否甄别冰岛最大水电站水库、气候变化与植食作用的影响？》的研究论文，DOI：http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/avsc.12772。该数据集记录了冰岛东部高地三处植被监测站点中，各站点下每个样方内的各维管植物物种、其他植被类型及地表类型的预估盖度。本次植被监测工作是在冰岛国内最大水电站建成后开展的。研究设计细节请参阅该研究论文。本研究的基线调查于2006-2008年完成，后续重访调查于2015-2017年开展。类群命名依据《冰岛维管植物标注名录》（DOI: 10.33112/1027-832X.57）。
