| Summary: | Macrolichen abundance at the species level in 42 sites across a subarctic (56°N) to arctic (62°N) latitudinal gradient in Nunavik (Québec, Canada). Data was collected in the dominant vegetation types of six regions sampled along this gradient. ... : From south to north, we visited Clearwater Lake (CL; 56°20'N, 74°27'W), Boniface River (BR; 57°45'N, 76°10'W), Le Roy Lake (LL; 58°29'N, 75°28'W), Payne Lake (PL; 59°32’N, 74°63'W), Chukotat River (CR; 61°18'N, 75°55'W) and Deception Bay (DB; 62°05'N, 74°16'W). For each region, the most dominant vegetation types were identified according to their land surface cover, based on the 2018 Québec Northern Vegetation Map produced by the Ministère des Forêts, de la Faune et des Parcs (MFFP) of the Government of Québec. Three sites in each of the dominant vegetation types were randomly selected in a radius of five kilometers around each region’s research station prior to fieldwork (Figure 1b). Minimal distance between sampling sites was set to 250 meters. For each polygon of the vegetation map, a 250 m-wide buffer zone was excluded to ensure that sampling was conducted in the central section of the polygon. The final site selection consisted in a total of 42 sites and included three sites of each of the following ... |
