Data for: Scale-dependent responses of understory vegetation to the physical structure of undisturbed tundra shrub patches
These data were collected in order to explore relationships between the physical structure of tundra shrubs and local vegetation and abiotic conditions. In order to do this we established 3 x 3 m sampling plots at the top, middle, and bottom of ten Alnus alnobetula (green alder) patches. All patches...
