Data and code from: Geomorphological processes shape plant community traits in the Arctic
Aim Geomorphological processes profoundly affect plant establishment and distributions, but their influence on functional traits is insufficiently understood. Here, we unveil trait-geomorphology relationships in Arctic plant communities. Location High-Arctic Svalbard, low-Arctic Greenland, and sub-A...

Aim Geomorphological processes profoundly affect plant establishment and distributions, but their influence on functional traits is insufficiently understood. Here, we unveil trait-geomorphology relationships in Arctic plant communities. Location High-Arctic Svalbard, low-Arctic Greenland, and sub-Arctic Fennoscandia.
