Description
In 1999 the Forest Service of the Government of Navarre set up two experimental sites in Western Pyrenees (Navarra, NE Spain) to study the effect of different thinning intensities over Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris) stands in nine plots (30 x 40 m) per site. From 2000 to 2019 were recorded the species occurrences of vascular plants and bryophytes, and their cover measured in percentage, in ten 2 x 2 m quadrats per plot in both sites. The species checklist of each site is provided, based in the first recorded occurrence, with the geographical coordinates referred to the centroid of each site.
Data Records
The data in this occurrence resource has been published as a Darwin Core Archive (DwC-A), which is a standardized format for sharing biodiversity data as a set of one or more data tables. The core data table contains 191 records.
This IPT archives the data and thus serves as the data repository. The data and resource metadata are available for download in the downloads section. The versions table lists other versions of the resource that have been made publicly available and allows tracking changes made to the resource over time.

Project Data
The effects of thinning practices on the understory of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris) forests were studied in two sites of W Pyrenees (Navarre, NE Spain).

| Study Area Description | Both sites are located in Western Pyrenees (Navarre, NE Spain). Vegetation consisted in Scot pine (Pinus sylvestris) dominated forests mixed with broad-leaved trees. The first site is Aspurz (municipality of Navascués), in a north facing oriented foothill (625 m a.s.l.), with a sub-Mediterranean climate transitional between temperate and Mediterranean, with a mild water deficit during summer; mean annual precipitation is 937 mm and mean annual temperature 12.0ºC. Forest landscape is composed by extensive secondary pine woodlands, patches of Fagus sylvatica located in norward solpes with favored water balance, Quercus rotundifolia woodlands in the driest biotopes and Quercus pubescens woodlands elsewhere. The second site is Krutxaga (municipality of Garde) in a north-west facing oriented slope (1335 m a.s.l.), with a temperate and continental climate without water deficit during summer; mean annual precipitation is 1346 mm and mean annual temperature 9.4ºC. Forest landscape is composed by extensive primary and secondary pine woodlands and patches of Fagus sylvatica. |
| Design Description | There were three types of plots (30 x 40m) in both sites, with three replicates of each: reference plots without thinning and thinned plots, with two levels of intensity. Within each plot there were 10 permanent quadrats (2 x 2 m) along two parallel transects (5 quadrats per transect). |

Sampling Methods
The occurence and cover of plant species was recorded in 10 permanent quadrats (2 x 2 m) per plot along two parallel transects (5 quadrats per transect) every summer from 2000 to 2019.

Method step description:
- Within each quadrat all vascular plants and some of the commonest bryophytes were identified and their horizontal cover was estimated in percentage. The bryophytes less common were recorded as a group.
