Developmental stages of bud primordia in Vaccinium vitis-idaea across 16 sites in Interior Alaska 2017-2019

This dataset contains the stages of the flower bud primordia (buds prior to anthesis) for Vaccinium vitis-idaea at 19 sites in the Fairbanks area for two cohorts (one initiated in 2017 and matured in 2018, and one initated in 2018 and matured in 2019). Developmental stages were tracked from early June to early October, and then again the following May. Buds were classified as basal, middle, or apical. Developmental stages are based on scanning lectron microscopy. Associated data describe temperature for each interval (period between collection dates), along with site characteristics (location, canopy cover, and depth of thaw in late May).
