Microclimate (soil moisture: -6 cm, and temperature: -6, 2, 15 cm). For further details, please refer to the newest BioBasis manual available at the website. -
Loiseleuria phenology
For Loiseleuria procumbens four observation plots were established in order to cover the ecological amplitude of the species with respect to duration of snow cover, difference... -
Leaf fluorescence (discontinued)
The effect of increased UV-B radiation on plant stress is monitored indirectly by measuring chlorophyll fluorescence in three series of plots: Controls, plots with a filter... -
Carbondioxide flux
Carbon fluxes are measured weekly. The vegetation in the CO2 flux plots is dominated by Empetrum nigrum heath with Salix glauca as subdominant species. Soil moisture is measured... -
Microarthropod
Soil samples are collected with a soil corer from which the organisms are extracted in a heat extractor by gradually heating up. Samples are taken from permanent plots 3 times... -

Passerine bird
The avifauna is monitored with special emphasis on passerine birds representing the highest trophic level. Weekly counts of birds are carried out at 13 census points during the... -
Arthropod
Arthropods are sampled by means of yellow pitfall traps. Window traps are used for flying insects. The traps are emptied weekly throughout the snow free season. For further... -
Water chemistry and benthic pigments in the Lake Meretta wetlands, Resolute...
The Meretta wetlands are an extensive area of shallow lakes, ponds and streams that mostly drain into Meretta Lake, in the Resolute Bay area, on Cornwallis Island in the... -
Limnological and cytometry data for Ward Hunt Lake, Nunavut
Limnological profile and cytometry of Ward Hunt Lake, located on Ward Hunt Island, Nunavut, Canada. Data were collected during a field campaign in July 2022. The various... -
Limnological and metabolic data of 35 lakes in the Greiner Lake watershed,...
Properties of Arctic lakes vary depending on the type of soil, major sources of water, size of the lake, elevation and climatic conditions among others. We studied 35 lakes of... -
Vegetation cover in and near drained basins in Old Crow Flats, Yukon, Canada
From August 25 to September 1, 2022, fieldwork was conducted in Old Crow Flats, Yukon (Canada) to study thermokarst lake and drained basin dynamics. As part of this work,... -
Air and ground temperature, air humidity and site characterization data from...
A network of temperature and humidity sensors was deployed near Yellowknife, Canada to establish 28 distinct study sites reflecting landscape variability. The field campaign was... -
Plankton and water chemistry data from proglacial Thores Lake
The number of glacial lakes is rapidly increasing with glacial retreat in the Canadian High Arctic, yet very little is known about the biology of these aquatic environments.... -
Dissolved organic matter and bacterial data, along with associated...
Dissolved organic matter (DOM) leaching from thawing permafrost may have feedback effects on climate if it is efficiently mineralized into greenhouse gases (GHG). Yet, many...
