This file contains the carbon stock, vegetation abundance and soil data that is presented in the article "Consequences of grazer-induced vegetation transitions on ecosystem carbon storage in the tundra". The study sites Raisduoddar (69°31’29 N, 21°19’16 E; altitude 430–570 m asl) and Čearro (69°43’23 N, 21°37’45 E; altitude 540–570 m asl) are located in Northern Norway. In this file, Raisduoddar is referred to as Reisa. Other occuring acronyms are HG, MG and LG that represent the different grazing intensities found at the two sites. LG represents lightly grazed areas that are located 5 meters from the pasture rotation fence on the Winter grazing range. HG represent heavily grazed areas that are located 5 meters from the pasture rotation fence on the summer grazing range. MG represents moderately grazed areas, 100 m away from the fence on the summer grazing range. At each of the sites, we set eight transects perpendicular to the reindeer fence that cross all three grazing intensities.
