Regional Quantitative Cover Mapping of Tundra Plant Functional Types in Arctic Alaska

Regional Quantitative Cover Mapping of Tundra Plant Functional Types in Arctic Alaska

Ecosystem maps are foundational tools that support multi-disciplinary study design and applications including wildlife habitat assessment, monitoring and Earth-system modeling. Here, we present continuous-field cover maps for tundra plant functional types (PFTs) across ~125,000 km2 of Alaska’s North...
