Vegetation, plant biomass, and net primary productivity patterns in the Canadian Arctic
[1] We have developed maps of dominant vegetation types, plant functional types, percent vegetation cover, aboveground plant biomass, and above and belowground annual net primary productivity for Canada north of the northern limit of trees. The area mapped covers 2.5 million km2 including glaciers....
