The Arctic-Boreal Vulnerability Experiment (ABoVE) is a NASA Terrestrial Ecology Program field campaign currently underway in Alaska and western Canada. Climate change in the Arctic and Boreal region is unfolding faster than anywhere else on Earth. ABoVE seeks a better understanding of the vulnerability and resilience of ecosystems and society to this changing environment.
Ten data sets were recently published providing historical environmental, soil, and vegetation data collected at study locations in Alaska. These data were provided by the Alaska Arctic Geoecological Atlas (http://agc.portal.gina.alaska.edu/), which provides access to existing Arctic vegetation plot and map data in support of the ABoVE campaign.
