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.本研究旨在系统探究火灾对阿拉斯加内陆三类土壤景观中永久冻土的影响，三类景观分别为岩石高地、粉质高地与砂质低地。本数据集详细记录了各集约研究样地的基本信息，并汇总了土壤相关数据，涵盖土壤质地、含水率、储水量、地表有机层厚度、融化深度以及季节净热输入量。关联数据集包含土壤温度数据、植物物种数据以及按土层划分的详细土壤信息。
