    This file contains the carbon stock, vegetation abundance and soil data that is presented in the article "Consequences of grazer-induced vegetation transitions on ecosystem carbon storage in the tundra". The study sites Raisduoddar (69°31’29 N, 21°19’16 E; altitude 430–570 m asl) and Čearro (69°43’23 N, 21°37’45 E; altitude 540–570 m asl) are located in Northern Norway. In this file, Raisduoddar is referred to as Reisa. Other occuring acronyms are HG, MG and LG that represent the different grazing intensities found at the two sites. LG represents lightly grazed areas that are located 5 meters from the pasture rotation fence on the Winter grazing range. HG represent heavily grazed areas that are located 5 meters from the pasture rotation fence on the summer grazing range. MG represents moderately grazed areas, 100 m away from the fence on the summer grazing range. At each of the sites, we set eight transects perpendicular to the reindeer fence that cross all three grazing intensities

    Stable isotope values of long-tailed and parasitic jaegers' chick feathers in nothern Fennoscandian tundra. Values are arranged by year and study area. There were three study areas, scattered along a coast (Altafjord) - inland (highland tundra plateau of Joatka Reserch Area) gradient (see Figure 1 in Ruffino et al. 2015 in Ecography for details of study areas). Year 2011 was a rodent outbreak year (both Norwegian lemmings and voles) in our study areas, while in 2012 rodent abundances declined sharply. Values have been obtained after lipid extraction - Analyses were made at the Stable Isotope Laboratory of Environment Canada, Saskatoon, Canada. See also the supplementary files of Ruffino et al. 2015 for further details on how the stable isotopic analyses were conducted
