Ground-Based Vegetation Community Photos, Toolik Lake Area, Alaska, 2014-2015
This new Arctic-Boreal Vulnerability Experiment (ABoVE) dataset contains 731 ground-based nadir vegetation community and ground surface photographs that will serve as a 2014-2015 reference for future climate change impact studies. The photos complement related datasets that were collected across the same study areas near Toolik Lake, Alaska. The "Toolik" study area (approximately 6 km2) covers research areas near Toolik Field Station at Toolik Lake, including Arctic LTER installations. The "Pipeline" study area is a stretch of the Trans-Alaska Pipeline and the "Imnavait" area is along Imnavait Creek, roughly 10 km east of Toolik Lake.
ABoVE is a NASA Terrestrial Ecology Program field campaign conducted in Alaska and western Canada between 2016 and 2021 that links field-based, process-level studies with geospatial data products derived from airborne and satellite sensors.
