About the map

The AATVM contains maps of several geobotanical themes covering the tundra region of Alaska. The map was derived from the Circumpolar Arctic Vegetation Map (CAVM) and was published at 1:4 million scale (Raynolds et al. 2006). A description of the methods used to make the map are in Raynolds et al. 2005. Most of the mapped themes are identical to those portrayed on the CAVM; only the vegetation theme is different, displaying 33 map units instead of the 13 units portrayed on the CAVM.
