Alaska Arctic Elevation Map
Elevation strongly influences soil moisture and patterns of tundra plant communities. Areas less than 100 m above sea level were separated to show low-elevation plains. Areas... -
Alaska Arctic Vegetation Map
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... -
Alaska Arctic AVHRR NDVI Map
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... -
Alaska Arctic Bioclimate Subzone Map
Various authors, working with different geobotanical traditions, have divided the Arctic into bioclimatic regions using a variety of terminologies. The origins of these... -
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... -
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... -
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.... -
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...
