The data is for the Braila Islands LTSER site (LTER_EU_RO_006) for the meteorological data recorded at the Braila weather station, for the period 2000-2016. Plant species composition was compiled in 2007.

The aim of the yearly sampling of “Compositional Diversity Transects” (FH-CDT) at the Fülöpháza LTER site is to study the effects of weather on the spatial organization of open sand grasslands. Two open sand grassland patches have been sampled yearly from 2004 at the time of the phenological optimum of the communities. We collect data about the co-occurrence of vascular and non-vascular plant species in transects of contiguously arranged micro-quadrats. Transects are permanently marked. Plant presence is considered if there is an overlap between the aboveground part of a plant individual and the sampling unit (micro-quadrat). We sample 5 cm x 5 cm contiguous micro-quadrats arranged along 52 m long transects. One transect sampled in each patch. From the base-line data we estimate Compositional Diversity (i.e. diversity of species combinations), the number of realized species combinations, mean species richness and the spatial variance of species richness at three representative scales (5 cm x 5 cm; 5 cm x 25 cm; 5 cm x 200 cm) using computerized sampling.

Meteorological data for Neajlov LTSER site was recorded at Videle station for the period 2000-2016. Chemical parameters (June 2012 - June 2013) correspond to 3 sampling points located in Neajlov catchment. Plant species composition was compiled in 2012

Long-term (2005-2019) monitoring data of epiphytic lichens of the LTER station Zöbelboden, Austria. The data contains lichen species frequencies per host tree.

In 1998 a permanent plot (50 x 50 m) was established at the height of 790 m asl in 120 year old spruce stand, where bulk deposition, throughfall and soil solution are collected. The investigations of health status of trees and floral characteristic have been carried out since 2001. The analyses are carried out in a certified laboratory of the Institute for Ecology of Industrial Areas, Katowice (Certificate No AB 325). The basic meteo data are taken from the monitoring station located about 1 kn from the plot.

The site is located in the Southern Carpathians (Romania). The predominant ecosystems are grasslands located above tree line, dominated by Carex curvula, Juncus trifidus (alpine zone) and Festuca airoides, Nardus stricta, Festuca nigrescens (subalpine zone). The site consists of monitoring points in subalpine and alpine meadows.
