Abiotic and vegetation community data from Alnus alnobetula shrub and open tundra sites at Trail Valley Creek, NT
These data were collected to explore the capacity of Alnus alnobetula (green alder) shrub patches to modify the habitat and composition of the local plant community at the taiga-tundra ecotone near Trail Valley Creek Research Station in the Northwest Territories. To do this we selected ten sites on...
