| Summary: | Data used for the journal article by Gemal et al. (2024), "Reindeer grazing and soil wetness interact to drive tundra plant community structure in northern Sweden". 'Metadata.xlsx' describes the columns in each dataframe. 'site_conditions.csv' and 'plots_tidy.csv' contain the data collected in the field, and reindeer grazing durations for each plot. 'spID_list.csv' is the full species list of identified plants. 'NDVI_plots.csv', 'wetness.csv', 'soildepth.csv' and 'slope.csv' contain GIS-obtained data on the respective variables. Abstract Questions: The relative importance of abiotic versus biotic factors on structuring plant communities is debated, especially in the Arctic tundra where the harsh environment is limiting together with effects of grazing by reindeer. To understand the relative and interactive effect of abiotic(bottom-up) and biotic (top-down) factors on vegetation in the Swedish mountain tundra we ask: how do bottom-up factors and their interaction affect reindeer grazing activity and ... |
