Toolik Snowfence Experiment: Leaf Area Index Data [Walker]
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/56.243

Summary
This file contains Leaf Area Index (LAI) data collected for the Toolik
Snowfence Experiment from 1995 to 2001. 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.
