Abstract Annual mean ground temperatures ( T g ) decline northward from approximately −3.0°C in the boreal forest to −7.0°C in dwarf‐shrub tundra in the Tuktoyuktuk Coastlands and Anderson Plain, NWT, Canada. The latitudinal decrease in T g from forest to tundra is accompanied by an increase in the...
