The dataset contains phytosociological relevés taken according to the Braun-Blanquet method and collected in 6 permanent area of 10x10 meters of the Gran Sasso Mountain (at 2100-2200 m a.s.l.). The data collection started in 1986 and was repeated every few years. From 2008 the dataset is continuously updated every year

The plant communities at the permanent plots were described. One hundred phytosociological relevés were made in the quadrates of 25m2 in size on the plot. The percentage cover of species in each layer of phytocenosis was estimated in the following scale: 1%, 5%, 10%, 20%,...,100%. This scale seems to be more precise than the more commonly used Braun-Blanquet’s scale.

The dataset contains vegetation cover from 1x1 64 permanent plots along an altitudinal gradient (1722-1978 m a.s.l.) established in four summits in the northen Apennines. The plots are arranged at the four cardinal directions of each summit. The samples are collected every 5/7 years. The data are collected according to the GLORIA Multi-Summit Approach.

The dataset contains vegetation frequency, abundance and cover collected in two mountains of the Velino-Duchessa massif along an altitudinal gradient (from 1800 to 2400 m a.s.l.). 165 nested plots were established from 2005 with the following increasing dimensions: 1x1, 2x2, 4x4, 8x8 and 16x16 (meters). The plots are re-surveyed every 10 years.

The dataset contains phytosociological relevés taken according to the Braun-Blanquet method and collected in 6 permanent area of 10x10 meters of the Velino Mountain (at 2100-2200 m a.s.l.). The data collection started in 1993 and it is continuously updated every year

Vegetational description of inner Venter-valley and outer Rofen-valley along an altitudinal gradient from 1695 m to 2865 m a.s.l. Vegetation records were made in plots according to minimum areal of Braun-Blanquet (1964) In sum, 229 vegetation records were made (one record=one plot). Also ecological indicator-values are given. Ten vegetation associations were recorded, altitude and aspect were the most important criteria for the determination of different vegetation types. GPS-data were taken from googlemaps, according to the study site given in the report (Diploma-project).

GIS thematic layer of plant communities in the Tatra National Park. Overall, as many 49 non-forest plant communities were identified, in addition to approx. 17 major forest plant communities. Many of them are specific of the Tatras since associated with high sub-alpine and alpine environments.

PLANNED (as of August 2016) regular monitoring activities of the Park's Natura 2000 habitats are specified in the new Park Protection Plan (currently in the final project stage, pending final approval and implementation resolution by the Minister of Environment). They'll altogether comprise 32 habitats of Community Importance occurring in the Park, both forest and non-forest. The planned monitoring regime will involve appropriate monitoring grid/s of various resolutions (500, 250, 100, 1000 m - depending on the habitat) and established permanent observation plots according to the national biodiversity monitoring methodology applied countrywide by the Polish Chief Inspectorate for Environmental Protection (GIOŚ). The temporal regime: mostly every 5-6 years (sometimes every 3, 4 or 2 years). Usually the chief monitored parameter will be area of the habitat and its state (Natura 2000: FV, U1, U2), in some cases also presence and influence of invasive alien species. For the purpose of the Park's Protection Plan, nature inventory and assessment of the state of the above-mentioned 32 habitats, i.e. FV or U1 (no U2s or XXs, luckily) related to (a) habitat area, (b) habitat structure and function, and (c) future prospect - plus (d) the cumulative value - was conducted.
