The Toolik Field Station plant phenology program, begun in 2007, monitors the timing of certain developmental stages within the plant community commonly found in dry heath tundra. It is an examination of the development and timing of commonly occurring plant species and how they are affected by a changing climate. The protocol is based on the ITEX (www.geog.ubc.ca/itex) protocol for the Toolik Snowfence Experiment. This dataset extends from 2011 until 2017.
