LTER Brasschaat, Belgium, vegetation data 1996-2017

Vegetation survey data on permanently marked subplots (100 m²) of the LTER site Brasschaat (BE001) between the years 1996 and 2017. All vascular plant and terrestrial moss species occurring at the subplots were recorded and their percentage cover was estimated. Woody species were assigned to three different vegetation strata depending on their height: herb layer (< 50 cm), shrub layer (? 50 cm and < 5 m) and tree layer (? 5 m). Scientific nomenclature for plants was standardized using the R package ?Taxonstand? version 2.1 (Cayuela et al. 2012).
