Eight Mile Lake Research Watershed, Thaw Gradient Extended sites: Vegetation data from land cover classes from an upland watershed undergoing permafrost thaw.

This data set contains meausrements ofpercent of ground cover (vegetation, water, bare soil) from sites throughout the wathershed within certain land cover types identified by an unsupervised landcover classification. The purpose was to see how land cover classes differed in soil properties and if we could detect diffences in classes undergoing permafrost thaw that results in thermokarst.

本数据集包含经无监督土地覆盖分类（unsupervised landcover classification）识别的特定土地覆盖类型下，流域全境各采样点位的地表覆盖百分比数据，涵盖植被、水体、裸土三类。本研究旨在探明不同土地覆盖类别的土壤属性差异，并识别经历冻土融化（permafrost thaw）并引发热融喀斯特（thermokarst）的土地覆盖类别的特征差异。
