Study Site: Scotty Creek Research Station, Northwest Territories
Purpose: Combined, the plant community composition data and plant functional trait data were used to calculate the community-weighted mean traits presented in the manuscript. These data explored changes in community-weighted mean traits of both moss and understory vascular plant communities as well as forest floor carbon flux with nutrient fertilization emulating nutrient increases following permafrost thaw in a boreal peatland (Scotty Creek Research Station, NT: 61°18′ N, 121°,18′ W).
Abstract: This dataset includes three primary files:
the plant community composition data
the plant functional trait data
the forest floor carbon flux and associated environmental variables data.
