This dataset includes field measurements from unburned and burned 10 m x 10 m and 1 m x 1 m plots in the Noatak, Seward, and North Slope regions of the Alaskan tundra during July through August in the years 2016-2018. The data include vegetation coverage, soil moisture, soil temperature, soil thickness, thaw depth, and weather measurements. Measurements were recorded using ocular assessments and standard equipment. Plot photographs are included.
