Curonian Spit Biodiversity Plots

A comprehensive database of biodiversity plots, established in 2001, reveals the species richness and composition of vascular plants, bryophytes, and lichens across 14 distinct vegetation types within the Curonian Spit National Park. The database, developed collaboratively by Kiel University and the University of Kaliningrad, features 130 nested plot series ranging from 0.0001m to 900m in size, providing detailed geobotanical relevés for larger plots. This resource enables in-depth analysis of plant community dynamics, contributing significantly to the understanding of biodiversity patterns in this UNESCO World Heritage Site.
