Description
Summary:Plant species composition, canopy structure, and microtopography data for the point frame data collected at the Dry heath tundra site of the Toolik Snowfence Experiment in 2007, and the Moist tussock tundra site of the Toolik Snowfence Experiment in 2008. The Toolik Snowfence Experiment (part of the International Tundra Experiment (ITEX) network) examines the short- and long-term effects of increased snow depth (shortened growing season) and increased summer temperature on arctic tundra vegetation. The goal of this project is to assess potential changes in tundra plant communities in response to global climate change.
