The Toolik Field Station (TFS) plant phenology program monitors the timing of specific phenological developmental stages of plant species commonly found in the dry heath tundra plant community. The TFS phenology program began in response to TFS research community requests to collect baseline environmental data that would be broadly applicable and provide context to research projects conducted near TFS. The TFS plant phenology data collection protocol is based on the International Tundra Experiment (ITEX) (www.geog.ubc.ca/itex) protocol for the Toolik Snowfence Experiment. This dry heath tundra dataset began in 2011 and continues through 2023.
