Vegetation of acidophilous grasslands in Třebíč region
Source of data
Zelený & Li (2008), Zelený (unpubl.)
Description of dataset
Vegetation samples of acidophilous grasslands (16-25m2) recorded in 2004-2007.
Locality
North of Třebíč city, Czech Republic. Grasslands typically occur on convex topography with shallow soils, and form “islands” (habitat patches) of acidophilous vegetation in otherwise intensively manages agricultural landscape.

Environmental variables
| Name of variable | Description |
|---|---|
| plot | Plot number (used to store the plot in Czech National Phytosociological Database) |
| area | Area of the plot [m2] |

| pH.H | soil pH, measured in water solution |
| soildepth | Soil depth, measured by iron rod [cm] |
| soildepth_sd | Variability of soil depth (calculated from five measurement by iron rod in one plot) [cm] |
| classification | Classification of plots into vegetation associations. FVd - Festuco-Veronicetum dillenii, JmFo - Jasiono montanae-Festucetum ovinae, PhFr - Potentillo heptaphyllae-Festucetum rupicolae, PpSp - Polytricho piliferi-Scleranthetum perennis, and VvAp - Viscario vulgaris-Avenuletum pratensis; unclass - not classified. |
