Toolik Snowfence Experiment: 2002 Snow Free Date [Walker, M.] https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/56.964 Summary This dataset contains snow free date data collected for the Toolik Snowfence Experiment in 2002. The Toolik Snowfence Experiment (part of the International Tundra Experiment network) examines the short- and long-term effects of the increased snow depth (shortened growing season) and increased summer temperature on arctic tundra vegetation. The goal of this project is to assess potential changes in tundra plant communities in response to global climate change.
