Methods
BioTIME managers note: for v2, only control plots were retained. Vegetation
1. Vegetation was analysed by using a 60 X 60 cm frame divided into 36 10 X 10 cm subplots. Species abundances were recorded in each subplot. Each species were given a value between 0 and 3, where 0 = absent, 1 = rare, 2 = frequent, 3 = dominant. Litter, bare soil, and total vegetation cover was estimated by % cover per sub-plot and averaged per plot. Height of vegetation per plot was measured in 2003 and biomass harvested in 2003.
2. The Abundance units were calculated by using presence/absence values in subplots (sub-plot frequencies).
3. Plot size: 0.36 m2
4. Approx subsite area ca 900 m2
5. Missing taxa and year missing: NO
6. Warming treatment: hexagonal OTCs
