Arctic Vegetation Plots in Flux Tower Footprints, North Slope, Alaska, 2014

This data set provides vegetation, environmental, and soil data collected from plots located in the footprints of eddy covariance flux towers along a 300 km north-south latitudinal gradient from Barrow, to Atqasuk, and to Ivotuk across the North Slope of Alaska in 2014. Within each of the five flux tower footprints, 1x1-m quadrats were placed subjectively within widespread habitat or micro-habitat types to map the dominant vegetation communities and site environmental factors. Specific attributes included species cover data and environmental, soil and spectral data (active layer thaw depth, moss layer depth, organic horizon layer depth, standing water depth, soil moisture status, vegetation height, LAI).

本数据集提供了2014年从巴罗至阿图斯库克再到伊沃图克，沿阿拉斯加北部斜坡300公里南北纬度梯度内涡相关通量塔足迹处收集的植被、环境和土壤数据。在五个通量塔足迹的每个区域内，主观地放置了1x1米的样方，覆盖广泛生境或微生境类型，以绘制优势植被群落和场地环境因素。具体属性包括物种覆盖数据以及环境、土壤和光谱数据（活动层融深、苔藓层深度、有机层深度、静态水深、土壤湿度状况、植被高度、叶面积指数）。
