Summary: | 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 tree diameter and aboveground biomass (live and dead) from borehole sites in Alaska, sampled in July-August 2015. Files associated with this dataset include extended metadata, site coordinates, and tree DBH and biomass data.
