Active layer soil bulk density, moisture, carbon and nitrogen concentration and stable isotope data from Alaska borehole sites, 2015 (ViPER project)

The objective of this project is to examine the impacts of vegetation and ecosystem properties on active layer and permafrost thermal dynamics in order to better understand the vulnerability of permafrost to climate change. Datasets associated with the project include soil, vegetation, and ground temperature data from permafrost borehole sites in Alaska and NE Siberia. This dataset includes active layer soil bulk density, moisture, %C, %N, d13C, d15N from borehole sites in AK, sampled in July-August of 2015. Files associated with this dataset include extended metadata, site coordinates, and soil data.
