Dataset used in "Combining multiple investigative approaches to unravel functional responses to global change in the understorey of temperate forests" published in Global Change Biology (accepted nov 2023).Data on changes in the functional composition (cover, CWM plant heigth and CWM specific leaf area) of herbaceous understorey communities in temperate forests as a response to temperature changes, changes in atmospheric deposition rates and changes in light availability. Three datasets are included:Opportunistic resurvey database (opportunistic_resurvey_database.csv): derived from the ...
