Geo-database of MNT, MAT, and Shrub Sites in Northern Alaska (based on MSS Landcover) [Jia, J., H. Epstein, D. Walker] https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/46.640 Summary This dataset contains the location and site information for the homogeneous MNT, MAT, and Shrub tundra sample sites in northern Alaska. They are created by interpreting and seeding MSS derived land cover map. Sample size: 3X3 km. The attributes include area, elevation, vegetation types, and meteorological variables.
