Ecological Groups of Coleoptera (Insecta) as Indicators of Habitat Transformation on Drained and Rewetted Peatlands: A Baseline Study from a Carbon Supersite, Kaliningrad, Russia.

A total of 281 coleopteran species from 41 families were recorded from different sites of an abandoned cut-over peatland designated as the Carbon Measurement Supersite in Kaliningrad Oblast. This beetle assemblage is considered a baseline (pre-impact) faunal assemblage for further investigations during the 'before-after' (BA) or 'before-after control-impact' (BACI) study on a peatland that is planned to be rewetted. The spontaneously revegetated peatland has a less specialised beetle assemblage than at an intact raised bog.

Quantitative data on plant macrofossil distribution in the holocene sediment cores of mires in the Kaliningrad region, Russian Federation (South-Eastern Baltic).

The data file presents information on the quantitative taxa distribution for plant macrofossils in the Holocene sediment cores of mires in the Kaliningrad region (Russian Federation, South-Eastern Baltic Region), as well as 24 radiocarbon dates (14C). The dataset contains percentages of 51 most common (more than 1%) taxa in 1361 samples of 45 sediment cores. These data provide information on environmental development and evolution of the azonal wetland vegetation in the south-eastern part of the Baltic region during the Holocene.
