Abstract
The database collects the data resulting from the sampling of species-area relationships (SARs) in grassland communities in the Palaearctic. The core features of the database are the complete data from the EDGG Research Expeditions, but similar data from other studies are also included. Main features of the majority of relevés are: (i) they are part of nested-plot series (typically 0.0001-100 m²), (ii) bryophytes and lichens are treated comprehensively; (iii) detailed soil and other environmental data.
