Vegetation and goose nest data from Southampton Island, Nunavut
Ground cover within 1 m radius from the centre of goose nest bowls was visually estimated for into bins (trace, 1–5%, 5–25%, 25–50%, 50–75%, 75–95%, >95%) for each ground cover categories. Transects at East Bay were perpendicular to the south shore, using terrestrial vegetation at the high tide l...
