Description:

Abstract:: Data for the Alaska Arctic Tundra Vegetation Map (AATVM) was obtained from the Circumpolar Arctic Vegetation Map (CAVM). A 1:4 million-scale color-infrared (CIR) image of AVHRR satellite data was used as a base map. Data for each 1-km AVHRR pixel were selected at the time of maximum greenness from biweekly images from 11 July to 30 August 1993 and 1995. The minimum size on the map is 14 km diameter for polygon features and 8 km for linear features. The dominant vegetation type of each polygon was mapped with the recognition that polygons at this scale contain many vegetation types. Some of this heterogeneity can be characterized by topographic sequence.
Purpose:: Vegetation map of Arctic Alaska for use in various research projects.
