Scope: The database contains 2998 relevés, mainly from Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan from rock, scree, littoral, aquatic, forest, mire, fen, spring, river-bed, tall-herb, segetal, steppe and scrub vegetation. The database contains also releves of epiphytic bryophyte communiuties in Kyrgyzstan. The data were collected between 2007 and 2016 on plot sizes 0,2-500 m² in Pamir Alay and western Tian-Shan Mts.
