Shrub inventory for Alnus alnobetula and Salix spp. samples. Sample collection of Alnus alnobetula and Salix spp. was undertaken in the Inuvialuit Settlement region, Northwest Territories, Canada during field campaigns in 2022, 2023, and 2024. Shrub stems were sampled from both living canopy-forming shrubs, and from beaver-browsed stems. This dataset consists of inventories of shrub samples and subsamples collected for shrub ring width measurements, dendrochronological chronology formation, and crossdating. This data was collected as part of the Beavers and Socio-ecological Resilience in Inuit Nunangat (BARIN) project. Funding was provided by the UK Research and Innovation Canada Inuit Nunangat UK Arctic research programme (CINUK) grant NE/X002578/1.

Shrub ring width datasets for Alnus alnobetula and Salix spp. Sample collection of Alnus alnobetula and Salix spp. was undertaken in the Inuvialuit Settlement region, Northwest Territories, Canada, during field campaigns in 2022, 2023, and 2024. Shrub stems were sampled from both living erect canopy-forming shrubs, and from beaver-browsed stems. This dataset consists of standardised ring width (SRW) growth curves per individual shrub sampled. SRW values result from crossdating and averaging across the section and individual shrub level, following established shrub dendrochronological methods. The shrub ring width measurements are used for dendrochronological chronology formation and crossdating. These data were collected as part of the Beavers and Socio-ecological Resilience in Inuit Nunangat (BARIN) project. Funding was provided by the UK Research and Innovation Canada Inuit Nunangat UK Arctic research programme (CINUK) grant NE/X002578/1.

This dataset contains annual growth time series for 296 tundra shrubs belonging to 7 species (Salix and Betula genera) collected at the following sites in Northern Canada: Qikiqtaruk-Herschel Island (Yukon Territory), Kluane region (Yukon Territory), Umiujaq (Quebec) and Salluit (Quebec). Each individual time series (raw measurements) is presented along with the species and canopy size of the corresponding shrub. Funding was provided by the NERC grant NE/M016323/1.
