Shrub ring width measurements of Alnus alnobetula and Salix spp. collected from the Inuvialuit Settlement region, Northwest Territories, Canada, 2022-2024 - VERSION 1.0

**** PLEASE BE ADVISED TO USE VERSION 2.0 DATA *****

The VERSION 2.0 data set (see 'Related Data Set Metadata' link below) has been extended with further samples.

Shrub ring width datasets for Alnus alnobetula and Salix spp. Sample collection of alnus alnobetula and Salix spp. was undertaken in the Inuvialuit Settlement region, Northwest Territories, Canada during field campaigns in 2022, 2023, and 2024. Shrub stems were sampled from both living erect canopy-forming shrubs, and from beaver-browsed stems. This dataset consists of mean ring width (SRW) growth curves per individual shrub sampled. SRW values result from crossdating and averaging across the section and individual shrub level, following established shrub dendrochronological methods. The shrub ring width measurements are used for dendrochronological chronology formation and crossdating.
