Identificaciones de jamie_fenneman

Please help us ID these species! We are relatively confident on our vascular plant species identifications, but could use help with our non-vascular species including mosses and lichens. Your IDs will help contribute to biodiversity monitoring of climate change impacts in tundra plant communities on Qikiqtaruk - Herschel Island and around the circumpolar Arctic through the International Tundra Experiment (ITEX) Network.

These are the plant and lichen species observed in the monitoring of the long-term monitoring plots on Qikiqtaruk - Herschel Island in 2024. The data were collected on the 30 and 31 August in the two vegetation types Komakuk and Herschel vegetation type. These plots have been monitored since 1999 and provide one of the longest term records of vegetation change in the circumpolar Arctic.
