This database consists of vegetation sample plots from different parts of the Eurasian tundra. The sample plots represent high altitude vegetation on the northwestern Scandes both on siliceous and calcareous soil substrates, arctic tundra-polar semi-desert vegetation sampled along elevation and meso-topography gradients from 16 sites in total.

Such a knowledge will be a good base and help for a sustainable management of forests in Turkey. It would also be a good contribution for understanding the biological diversity in a larger geographical scale since Turkey, which a bridge between Europe an Asia, is covered by many different forest types representing the three main phytogeographical regions : Euro-Siberia, Mediterranean and Irano-Turanian.according to a specific agreement869truetruefalse000Kavgac?, A., Arslan, M., Bingöl, Ü., Erdogan, N.

All surveyed sites are areas of national importance. The surveyed sites are distributed allover Switzerland from approx. 200 m a.s.l. to 2800 m a.s.l. Between 5 and 40 plots are surveyed at each site. The circular plots have an area of 10 m2 and are marked permanently.
