Data Identification

Abstract: Monitoring of vegetation change in 2 1km x 1km grids at Imnaviat Creek and Toolik Lake
Purpose: The Toolik-Arctic Geobotanical Atlas (TAGA) is a web-based multi-scale collection of geobotanical maps and related material. It was developed as a research tool for scientists at the Toolik Field Station in northern Alaska. A wide variety of other users will also find the information valuable for general background and as an educational tool. Hierarchical image of maps included in the Atlas Select a name or map area to see a list of map themes. The TAGA is a synthesis of information and maps produced during 27 years of vegetation research in northern Alaska and the circumpolar Arctic. A concerted effort has been made to provide a common legend and color framework for maps made at eight different scales from 1-m2 plots to the entire Arctic. It focuses on research plots, grids, and areas around the intensive research sites at the Toolik Field Station and Imnavait Creek, Alaska. Other map areas include the upper Kuparuk River region, the entire Kuparuk River watershed, Arctic Alaska, and the Circumpolar Arctic. Diverse geobotanical themes for each map area include geology, topography, landforms, surficial geomorphology, soils, and vegetation, and various remote-sensing products. Maps of the vegetation plot locations are linked to photos and data from the plots.
