Victorian Alpine Plot Network (ATEX): Plot Microclimate Data, Bogong High Plains, Victoria, Australia, 2014–2015
The objective of the Australian Tundra Experiment(ATEX) is to assess the likely response of vegetation and invertebrates to temperature increases attained through passive warming. The Australian Tundra Experiment (ATEX) follows the International Tundra Experiment (ITEX) protocol (Molau & Mølgaar...
