These files contain data representing the plant cover and counts of individuals in 5, 10cm by 10cm square subplots at Barrow and Atqasuk in a text tab delimited format. The 5 subplots were established in existing plots. These include 96 International Tundra Experiment (ITEX) plots and a subset of 30 Arctic System Science Program (ARCSS) grid plots in Barrow and 96 ITEX plots and a subset of 30 ARCSS grid plots in Atqasuk. The data presented were collected from 2011-2017.
