Estimated above ground plant biomass for the tundra biome in
kilograms per square meter. Based on trans-Arctic field data and AVHRR
NDVI. Data provided by ORNL DAAC.

The broader data set provides the spatial distributions of
vegetation types, geobotanical characteristics, and physiographic
features for the circumpolar Arctic tundra biome for the period
1982-2003. Specific attributes include dominant vegetation,
bioclimate subzones, floristic subprovinces, landscape types, lake
coverage, Arctic treeline, elevation, and substrate chemistry data.
Vegetation indices, trends, and biomass estimate products for the
circumpolar Arctic through 2010 are also provided. QGreenland
displays the 2010 vegetation biomass in kilograms per square meter.
Users can look to the source information for additional data.
