Across the time series Moss is the most frequently occurring speciesMethods
Vegetation: Point frame abundance measurements. Canopy height was measured for each grid coordinate for 1999 and 2004 and at the 4 corners and centre of the plots in 2009.Abundance units: point frame hits.Plot size: 1 m2Subsite area: Each subsite was a transect of 6 plots spaced 10m apart, a 60m long transect, the two subsites (HE and KO) are 250m apart. Missing taxa/years: Some species were idenfied in some years and not others. All these taxa were combinedinto categories so that the taxa are consistently reported in all years.In 1999 for plot HE2, one row of 10 points of data are missing.Warming treatment: NoneCitation(s)
