Australian Tundra Experiment: Plot microclimate data, Bogong High Plains, Victoria, Australia, 2004-2013
The objective of the Australian Tundra Experiment is to assess the likely response of vegetation and invertebrates to temperature increases attained through passive warming. The Australian Tundra Experiment follows the International Tundra Experiment (ITEX) protocol (Molau & Mølgaard 1996, Jarra...
