Circumpolar Arctic Vegetation Mapping (CAVM) [Walker, D., H. Maier]
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/46.616

Summary
This dataset includes current versions of datasets used in the Circumpolar
Arctic Vegetation Map (CAVM) project. Data files were created using Arc/Info
version 8.0.1 on the Unix (Solaris 2.6) platform. Most of the Arc/Info grids
have been documented using the Arc/Info DOCUMENT command. The metadata can be
viewed by selecting the filename. The encapsulated postscript files that were
used to create the final plots are included as well as preview images in
several formats and resolutions. The maps are current as of 30 May 2001.
