This dataset features ten ultra-high resolution photogrammetric point clouds from northeast Siberian forest stands. The data has been acquired on the joint research expedition "Chukotka 2018" led by Alfred-Wegener-Institute, ...

Wetlands store large amounts of carbon, and depending on their status and type, they release specific amounts of methane gas to the atmosphere. The connection between wetland type and methane emission has been investigated ...

Arctic permafrost landscapes are among the most vulnerable and dynamic landscapes globally, but due to their extent and remoteness most of the landscape changes remain unnoticed. In order to detect disturbances in these ...

Abstract Mongolia's salmonids are suffering extensive population declines; thus, more comprehensive fisheries management and conservation strategies are required. To assist with their development, a better understanding ...
