The vegetation surveys were carried out in four different study areas in the Sakha Republic, Russia: in the mountainous region of the Verkhoyansk Range within the Oymyakonsky and Tomponsky District (Event EN21402 - EN21415), and in three lowland regions of Central Yakutia within the Churapchinsky, Tattinsky and the Megino-Kangalassky District (Event EN21416 - EN21464). The study area is located within the boreal forest biome that is underlain by permafrost soils. The aim was to record the projective ground vegetation in the shore area of the lakes studied during the RU-Land_2021_Yakutia summer field campaign in August and September 2021. Baisheva et al. (2022) gives an overview of the lakes studied and the corresponding hydrochemistry.The ground vegetation was estimated as a percentage within 2 x 2 m plots. The location of the plots was selected on site at the lake to represent the typical ground cover. Some of the vegetation plots were located directly on the shore in the transition to the water, others ... : Baisheva et al. (2022) gives an overview of the lakes studied during the summer field campaign (RU-Land_2021_Yakutia).The column 'Other event - Lake sampling event' refers to the sampled lakes in order to link these datasets. ...
