Statement

Methodology:

Traits were collected as part of field expeditions to the Yukon to examine the effect of climate change on plant communities. Traits were gathered on individuals following standardised protocols set out in (Perez-Harguindeguy et al, 2013). Fresh traits were measured at field sites. Dried plant material (leaves and stems) were transported to the University of Edinburgh (UK) for processing.

Data collection:

Masses were measured using a digital mass balance (Ohaus Scout Pro). Area measurements were made using the software ImageJ.

Data quality:

All mass measured to nearest 0.01g. Field measured (fresh mass) data has greater uncertainty due to measurement in field environment. Dates are missing for some of the trait records and only the month and year are provided.
