Abstract Recent expansion in data sharing has created unprecedented opportunities to explore structure–function linkages ecosystems across spatial and temporal scales. However, characteristics of the same product, such as resolution, can change over time or locations, protocols are adapted new technology conditions, which may impact data's potential utility accuracy for addressing end user scientific questions. The National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON) provides products users from...
The Arctic is experiencing rapid climate change. This research documents changes to tundra vegetation near Atqasuk and Utqiaġvik, Alaska. At each location, 30 plots were sampled annually from 2010 2019 using a point frame. For every encounter, we recorded the height classified it into eight groupings (deciduous shrubs, evergreen forbs, graminoids, bryophytes, lichens, litter, standing dead vegetation); for vascular plants also identified species. We found an increase in plant stature cover...
