Yukon River Basin Fire and Permafrost Study: Site description and summary of environmental data (2009-2012)

This study was designed to examine the effects of fire on permafrost across three soil landscapes in interior Alaska: rocky uplands, silty uplands, and sandy lowlands. This dataset provides a description of each intensive study site and summarizes soils data, including soil texture, moisture, water stocks, surface organic thickness, thaw depth, and net seasonal heat input. Associated datasets include soil temperature data, plant species data, and detailed soil information by soil layer.
