Toolik Snowfence Experiment: 1994-2002 Active Layer Depth
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/106.ARCSS900

Summary
This data set contains active layer data collected for the Toolik Snowfence
Experiment from 1994 to 2002. The Toolik Snowfence Experiment (part of the
International Tundra Experiment network) examines the short- and long-term
effects of 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. The research project was funded by the following Arctic System
Sciences (ARCSS) Program grants: 1994 - 1998: OPP-9400083 -- ITEX /
Comparative Responses of Moist and Dry Arctic Tundra to Altered Snow and
Temperature Regimes 1999 - 2003: OPP-9907127 -- ITEX / Collaborative Research:
Species Responses to Changes in Climate Across Arctic Gradients Using the
North American ITEX Network (NATEX): Influences On Community and Ecosystem
Processes 1999 - 2003: OPP-9996383 -- ITEX / Comparative Responses of Moist
and Dry Arctic Tundra to Altered Snow and Temperature Regimes
