Data Identification

Abstract: In Iceland the vegetation on four mountain summits ranging in altitude from 380 to 750 m a.s.l. is monitored, and permanent plots are established. Obligatory monitoring activities include: Species (vascular plants) recording in 16 1m x 1m quadrats: visual cover estimation point framing (100 points per quadrat as a new application). Species recording in 8 Summit-Area-Sections + abundance estimation defined on an ordinal scale (r!, very rare; r, rare; s, scattered; c, common; d, dominant). A careful photo documentation of plots and summit set-up. Continuous soil temperature measurements (4 points per summit site)
Purpose: The purpose of GLORIA is to establish and maintain a world-wide long-term observation network in alpine environments. Vegetation and temperature data collected at the GLORIA sites will be used for discerning trends in species diversity and temperature. The data will be used to assess and predict losses in biodiversity and other threats to these fragile alpine ecosystems which are under accelerating climate change pressures.
