The vegetation map distinguishes between five tundra vegetation types, trees, and open water at the forest-tundra transition north of Inuvik, Northwest Territories, Canada. The... -
Detailed pedon data on soil carbon and nitrogen for the northern permafrost region
Soils in the northern high latitudes are a key component in the global carbon cycle; the northern permafrost region covers 22% of the Northern Hemisphere and holds almost twice... -
A high spatial resolution soil carbon and nitrogen dataset for the northern permafrost region
This spatial dataset is quantifying soil organic carbon (SOC) and total nitrogen (TN) storage with their carbon to nitrogen ratio (C/N) in soils of the northern circumpolar... -
Global methane column-averaged dry air mole fraction (XCH4) from TROPOMI WFM-DOAS, since 2017
Carbon monoxide (CO) is an important atmospheric constituent affecting air quality, and methane (CH4) is the second most important greenhouse gas contributing to human-induced... -
Global methane data from 2002 to present derived from satellite observations
This dataset provides observations of atmospheric methane (CH4) amounts obtained from observations collected by several current and historical satellite instruments. Methane is... -
Raster Circumpolar Arctic Vegetation Map (CAVM) from AVHRR, MODIS and elevation data
Land cover maps are the basic data layer required for understanding and modeling ecological patterns and processes. The Circumpolar Arctic Vegetation Map (CAVM), produced in... -
Monthly global dataset of Wetland Area and Dynamics for Methane Modeling (WAD2M) from Remote Sensing, 2000-2020
Seasonal and interannual variations in global wetland area is a strong driver of fluctuations in global methane (CH4) emissions. Current maps of global wetland extent vary with... -
