Leaf mass per area (LMA), and leaf carbon and nitrogen content of Arctic vegetation species from three sites in Alaska, the Barrow Environmental Observatory (BEO), in Utqiagvik, and, two sites on the Seward Peninsula, Kougarok Mile 64 and Teller Mile 27. The plants were sampled in July 2022 as part of an ongoing project to improve the understanding of stomatal conductance in the Arctic. Species sampled from the BEO (from a 1 km2 area centered around 71.275°N, 156.641°W) were Arctagrostis latifolia, Arctophila fulva, Carex aquatilis, Eriophorum angustifolium, Petasites frigidus and Salix pulchra. Alnus viridis, Salix glauca and Salix pulchra were collected at the Seward Peninsula sites. All sampled leaves were used for gas exchange measurements prior to analysis of LMA and leaf carbon and nitrogen content. The data and metadata files included in this data package are in .csv format.
