| Summary: | As shrubs become more widespread across the Arctic, there is increasing focus on their influence over snow accumulation and soil moisture. To better characterize shrub heights based on landscape position, proximity to surface waters, and species, shrub heights were measured with a differential GPS (dGPS) at the Teller 27 and Kougarok 64 field sites on the Seward Peninsula, Alaska. Measurements were collected between September 12th through 16th, 2021. Shrub heights were calculated by subtracting the maximum height of the canopy from the ground elevation. Some of the shrub heights collected were co-located with iButton (i.e., K45, B8) and Tiny Tag (i.e., TT10) sensors in dataset NGA296. Other shrub heights and species were measured in a dense 20 m x 20 m plot to understand shrub density, species composition, and heights. This dataset contains a .csv file of ground elevations and shrub heights of shrubs throughout the Teller 27 and Kougarok 64 sites.The Next-Generation Ecosystem Experiments: Arctic (NGEE ... |
