Description
Summary:The vegetation map distinguishes between five tundra vegetation types, trees, and open water at the forest–tundra transition north of Inuvik, Northwest Territories, Canada. The area is underlain by continuous permafrost. Vegetation types were distinguished based on vegetation height derived from airborne laser scanning, airborne orthophotos and observations from the field site. A detailed description of the data sources and processing steps is included.
