description: Survey data from plots along 16 hiking trails in Dovrefjell (Norway) and Abisko (Sweden). Contains species occurrences, cover, and plot characteristics. Plots (20 m<sup>2</sup>) are coded as follows: N = trail adjacent, 0-2 m away, M = 2-12 m away, F = 12-22 m away. ### Metadata ### - region: "NS" = Northern Scandinavia - trail: 2 letter abbreviation of trail identity - transect: 1-10 per trail, 1 lowest, 10 highest - species: scientific name of species in plot - plot: N = trail adjacent, 0-2 m away, M = 2-12 m away, F = 12-22 m away - cover: in % - abundance: 1-3, with 1 less than 10, 2 up to 100, and 3 more than 100 individuals - trail_transect_plot: unique id per plot - comments: comments - x, y: longitude and latitude gps1 - latitude: gps 2 - longitude: gps2 - observers - date - protected: yes/no - trail_verge_width: wiidth of rail in m - trail category: formal / informal - trail_substrate - trailusedmot_before: was it used for motorized traffic (yes/no) - act_type1-act_type3: e.g. hike, bike... - herbivore1-herbivore6: herbivores in area - habitat: habitat description - disturbance_human: yes/no - disturbance_animal: yes/no - disturbance_enviro : yes/no - disturbance_other : yes/no - disturbance_intensity: 1-3 with 1 barley visible to 3 massive - herbivore_disturbance : 1-3 with 1 barley visible to 3 massive - trampling_disturbance: 1-3 with 1 barley visible to 3 massive - bare_ground_cover: 1-8 - bare_rock_cover : 1-8 - vegetation_cover: 1-8 - forest_canopy_cover : 1-8 - shrub_cover: 1-8 - herb_cryptogram_cover: 1-8 - wetland_riparian_present: yes/no - fenced: yes/no - lemming_droppings: count - reindeer_droppings: count - vole_droppings: count -l_mammal_droppings: count - sm_mammal_droppings: count - bird_droppings: count - gap_trans_nr: number of gaps along transect through N plot - gap_trans1_l:lenght of random gap on transect - gap_trans1_w: width of random gap on transect - gap_trans2_l :lenght of random gap on transect - gap_trans2_w: width of random gap on transect - gap_trans3_l :lenght of random gap on transect - gap_trans3_w width of random gap on transect - gap_trans4_l :lenght of random gap on transect - gap_trans4_w width of random gap on transect - gap_trans5_l :lenght of random gap on transect - gap_trans5_w width of random gap on transect - dist_extent_m: visible disturbance of trail in vegetation from trail edge - moss_cover: % - dwarft_shrub_cover: 1- 8 - trail_influence_m2: influence along 10 m plot into surrounding vegetation - trailiness: % bare ground on trail - picture - logger - area: Abisko or Dovrefjell - bio_1: downscaled CHELSA data - bio_5 bio_6: downscaled CHELSA data - bio_12 : downscaled CHELSA data - dem_elevation: elevation from DEM - dist_intro_ how many meters from introduction source (e.g. chairlift) - dist_start: how many meters from trailhead - dist_elev: how many meters above trailhead - richness_raw : species number of plot - clim_pc1: PC1 value of climate data - gap_area - gap_index: area sum of gaps 1-5 - trail_transect: ID - richness_relative: difference between N and F plot in species number <br> Covers with 1-8 can be converted into %. <br> <br>
