To study plant community succession after fire and how it is influenced by time since previous (pre-fire) disturbance, vegetation data were collected in 2019, 5 years after a large (13000 hectare) wildfire in boreal Southern Sweden (county Västmanland). Plant communities were surveyed in severely burnt even-aged pine stands that varied in time since clearcutting (0-123 years) before the wildfire occurred. Data includes at the plot-level (50x50cm quadrats): vascular and moss species frequency, total cover, dead wood, and canopy openness. At the stand-level: means for all species, community weighted trait means (trait data from databases), and distance to the fire perimeter.
