Species abundances were estimated adopting the nine-point Braun-Blanquet scale (see Coverscale). Taxonomy of vascular plants agrees with Fischer et al. (2008), lichens with Tu"rk \& Hafellner 2010 and bryophytes with Ko"ckinger et al. (2012). On sample plot (wf60 to wf70) no cryptogams were recorded. The data set has five layers hl, ml, sl, tl1 and tl2, where hl means herb layer, ml moos layer, sl shrub layer and tl1 lower tree layer and tl2 upper tree layer, respectively. The sites data contains e.\,g. information about stand heights, cover of layers, snow cover. Precise sampling locations are provided.
