Description
This dataset consists of records of vascular plants and bryophytes from 48 plots of 5 x 5 m in heathland vegetation. The plots were laid out in sites with different time since fire and were inventoried in autumn 2015. The vascular plants are recorded as rare or common in each plot. Bryophyte data just consist of presence data. Voucher specimens of the bryophytes are deposited at the National Herbarium in Addis Ababa.
Data Records
The data in this sampling event resource has been published as a Darwin Core Archive (DwC-A), which is a standardized format for sharing biodiversity data as a set of one or more data tables. The core data table contains 48 records.
2 extension data tables also exist. An extension record supplies extra information about a core record. The number of records in each extension data table is illustrated below.
This IPT archives the data and thus serves as the data repository. The data and resource metadata are available for download in the downloads section. The versions table lists other versions of the resource that have been made publicly available and allows tracking changes made to the resource over time.
Versions
The table below shows only published versions of the resource that are publicly accessible.
