This database contains data on site, soil stratigraphy, soil physical and chemical properties, Carbon-14 (C14) and stable isotope, and vegetation composition and structure acquired from permafrost soil surveys and thermokarst monitoring sites. The data are from projects that we have conducted, as well as data compiled from numerous other project and reports, that have emphasized the study of the intermediate layer of upper permafrost and the dynamic responses of permafrost to environmental conditions. This 2023 update includes data from our recent National Science Foundation (NSF)-funded project on the upper permafrost. The Access Database has 11 main data tables (tbl_) for site (environmental), soil stratigraphy, soil physical data, soil chemical data, water Oxygen-18 (O18), soil radiocarbon dates, vegetation cover, vegetation structure, study areas, personnel, and project data sources. The Site data includes information of location, observers, geomorphology, topography, hydrology, soil summary ...
