This datasets represent an interdisciplinary sampling effort to better understand Arctic aquatic graminoid tundra. In particular, we assessed how environmental nutrient availability influences production of biomass and greenness in the 2 dominant aquatic tundra species: Arctophila fulva and Carex aquatilis.We sampled a total of 17 sites distributed across the Barrow Peninsula and Atqasuk, Alaska, following a nutrient gradient that ranged from sites with thermokarst slumping or urban runoff to sites with relatively low nutrient inputs.
