Abstract

Transect data is from point center quarter (PCQ) surveys for shrub density performed in July 2016 at the Kougarok site and in July 2017 at the Kougarok, Teller, and Council sites. For each sample point along the transects, moving averages for shrub density and shrub basal area are provided along with GPS coordinates. Average shrub height and active layer depth are recorded for each sample point as well. Target shrub species differ across the transects: some surveys targeted a mixture of tall shrub species while others targeted specific species. In 2017 insect damage was also quantified. The dataset contains two *.csv data files and one *.pdf.
