Description:
As the shrub cover expands across the Arctic tundra with climate warming, an accurate and cost-effective tool to quantitatively map the shrub cover is needed. This dataset and the associated study explore the potentials of L-band SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) satellite image (ALOS-2) in estimating Arctic shrub biomass and leaf area index (LAI). This dataset includes in-situ measurements of shrub canopy parameters and the ALOS-2 derived maps of birch shrub biomass and LAI in Trail Valley Creek watershed, Northwest Territories. The Principal Investigators would appreciate users of this dataset informing Dr. Aaron Berg (aberg@uoguelph.ca) or Qianyu Chang (qchang@uoguelph.ca) about their intended uses of these data and would also appreciate receiving copies of reports based on the dataset.
