Circumpolar Arctic Biomass Trend 1982-2010 (Epstein et al. 2012)
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... -
Circumpolar Arctic AVHRR Summer Warmth Index 1982-2003 (Raynolds et al. 2008)
This data set was calculated from monthly AVHRR thermal infrared data (Comiso 2003). Summer Warmth Index (SWI) is the sum of monthly mean temperatures above 0 degrees Celsius.... -
Circumpolar Arctic Biomass (Raynolds et al 2012)
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... -
Alaska Arctic False Color-Infrared (CIR) Map
Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) data were obtained from the USGS Global AVHRR 10-day composite data (http://edcdaac.usgs.gov/1KM/1kmhomepage.asp) (Markon et al.... -
Circumpolar Arctic Floristic Provinces Map
Floristic sectors characterize the considerable east-west floristic variation within the subzones. The more northern Arctic bioclimate subzones have a relatively consistent core... -
Alaska Arctic Lake Cover Map
Lake cover strongly affects the reflectance of the land surface over large areas of Alaska, and was useful for identifying extensive wetlands. Lake cover was based on the number... -
Atqasuk
Komarkova maps with 2 themes. They are currently in a paper/mylar version and need to be digitized and will be available here in the future. -
Kuparuk River Basin Landscape Units Map
Generalized landscape units for Kuparuk River basin. Polygon coverage of landscape units for the Kuparuk River watershed with seven units. This map was drawn by Skip Walker,... -
Toolik Lake Grid Percent Water
The Toolik Lake Grid map focuses on the south side of Toolik Lake. This area is one of the principal intensive research areas at the Toolik Lake Field Station. It includes many... -
Circumpolar Arctic AVHRR NDVI Trend 1982-2008 (Bhatt et al. 2010)
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... -
Circumpolar Arctic Substrate pH
Differences in substrate chemistry have important effects on dominant plant communities. Some of the most important effects are related to soil pH, which governs the... -
Circumpolar Arctic Vegetation Map (Vegetation Layer)
Mapped polygons at 1:7.5 million scale contain many vegetation types. The map portrays the zonal vegetation within each mapped polygon. Zonal sites are areas where the... -
Circumpolar Arctic Coastline and Treeline Map
The map extent is the Arctic, defined as the Arctic Bioclimate Zone, the area of the Earth with tundra vegetation and an Arctic climate and Arctic flora. It excludes tundra... -
