Description

This dataset provides environmental, soil, and vegetation data collected from study plots in the vicinity of Lake Colleen off the Spine Road at Prudhoe Bay, Alaska, during August of 2014. Data include vegetation species, leaf area index (LAI), percent cover classes, soil moisture and color, and plot characteristics including geology, topographic position, slope, aspect, and plot disturbance.
