ABoVE: Subsistence Resource Use Areas of Interior Alaskan Communities, 2011-2017
This new Arctic-Boreal Vulnerability Experiment (ABoVE) dataset provides maps of the search and harvest areas used by community residents for all subsistence resources combined across Interior Alaska for the years 2011-2017. The data include the extent of areas used by residents, the species harvested, the amounts harvested, and the location and months of harvest. The data are a composite collected by the Division of Subsistence, Alaska Department of Fish and Game, using standardized methods and does not represent a comprehensive use map for the entire area.
ABoVE is a NASA Terrestrial Ecology Program field campaign conducted in Alaska and western Canada between 2016 and 2021. Research for ABoVE links field-based, process-level studies with geospatial data products derived from airborne and satellite sensors, providing a foundation for improving the analysis, and modeling capabilities needed to understand and predict ecosystem responses to, and societal implications of, climate change in the Arctic and Boreal regions.
