The integration of local knowledge and science represents an opportunity to enhance the understanding of interrelations among climate, hydrology, and socioeconomic systems while...

The French SPOT satellite data (20-m resolution) were obtained on 28 July 1989 and provides a view of the mapped region from space. NDVI is an index of vegetation greenness that...

The Ivotuk study site is located in northwestern Alaska, on the North Slope of the Brooks Mountains Range. The study site was chosen because four tundra vegetation types, moist...

Trend in Arctic biomass was calculated from a linear regression of biomass values for all years 1982-2010 (Epstein et al 2012). Pixels with significant trends (p < 0.05) were...

This map portrays an estimate of above ground plant biomass for the tundra biome based on trans-Arctic field data and AVHRR NDVI (Raynolds et al. 2012). Aboveground phytomass...

The normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) is a measure of greenness. NDVI was calculated as: NDVI = (NIR - R) / (NIR + R), where NIR is the spectral reflectance in the...
