Late Glacial to Holocene additional data from The role of sea ice for vascular plant dispersal in the Arctic
Sea ice has been suggested to be an important factor for dispersal of vascular plants in the Arctic. To assess its role for postglacial colonisation in the North Atlantic region, we compiled data on the first Late Glacial to Holocene occurrence of vascular plant species in East Greenland, Iceland, t...
