Data from: The phylogenetics of succession can guide restoration: an example from abandoned mine sites in the subarctic
1. Phylogenetic tools have increasingly been used in community ecology to describe evolutionary relationships among co-occurring species. In studies of succession, such tools may allow us to identify evolutionary lineages most suited for particular stages of succession and habitat rehabilitation. Ho...
