Alaska Arctic Substrate Chemistry Map
Differences in substrate chemistry, including pH, govern the availability of essential plant nutrients. Soils in the circumneutral range (pH 5.5-7.2) are generally mineral rich,... -
Alaska Arctic Floristic Provinces Map
The Arctic has a relatively consistent core ofplant species that occur throughout the circumpolar region, but there is also considerable east to west variation in regional... -
Circumpolar Arctic Lake Cover Map
Lake cover strongly affects the reflectance of the land surface over large areas of the Arctic, and was useful for identifying extensive wetlands. Lake cover was based on the... -
Alaska Arctic Landscape Map
The landscape physiography map displays regions of plains, hills, mountains, glaciers and lakes. Generally, plains are flat or gently rolling landscapes less than 200 m above... -
CANADIAN TRANSECT FOR THE CIRCUMPOLAR ARCTIC VEGETATION MAP (1999)
Variations in vegetation cover and species composition related to climate are evident from the southern to northern Arctic. Scientists involved in the Circumpolar Arctic... -
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.... -
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 Tundra Vegetation Map (Raynolds et al. 2006)
The Alaska Arctic Tundra Vegetation Map (AATVM) is a geoecological map of the Arctic Tundra within Alaska. It includes areas north and west of the forest boundary and excludes... -

AVA-AK: Poplar Vegetation Plots (Breen 2014)
Arctic Vegetation Archive - Alaska: Poplar Vegetation plots. The vegetation associated with balsam poplar stands in the Arctic Foothills of Alaska and the interior boreal... -
AVA-AK: Frost Boil Vegetation Plots (Kade et al. 2005)
Arctic Vegetation Archive - Alaska: Frost Boil Vegetation Plots. The vegetation associated with cryoturbated frost-heave features on the North Slope, Alaska was described by... -
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...
